    Surviving Grahamstown’s water cuts

    Residents in the high-lying areas of Grahamstown have been warned of yet another planned water cut which could last for two hours. 

    According to MobiSAM there is a burst pipe at the intermediate reservoir, which will require a two hour water outage while the Amatola Water team repairs it. 

    Residents in the high-lying areas of Grahamstown have been warned of yet another planned water cut which could last for two hours. 

    According to MobiSAM there is a burst pipe at the intermediate reservoir, which will require a two hour water outage while the Amatola Water team repairs it. 

    Some residents were already without water for more than four days. Residents in Extension 10, Extension 5 and Fingo Village were without water for past weekend.

    Makana municipality has been sending water-delivery trucks  to all the affected areas, but some residents allege that there were no trucks in their areas.

    Extension 9 resident, Nomfaneleko Jilana, said she had to ask her boss to bring her water as she had no transport to fetch water from the Spring outside of town. 

    Makana municipal spokesperson Yoliswa Ramokolo, told Grocott's Mail this morning that the water outages were triggered by strong wind which tripped power lines and caused the pipes at the James Kleinhans Water Treatment Works to burst. 

    She said they could only get the parts that were damaged from Johannesburg as nobody in the Eastern Cape supplies the types of water pipes used at James Kleinhans.
