The City of Ekurhuleni wishes to inform customers in Kempton Park of a planned water supply interruption to repair leaks and install valves that have had negative effect on the Kempton Park water distribution network. The maintance work will improve water reticulation and reduce interruptions in the affected areas.
The repair work, and the resultant supply interruption, will be from 11:00 on Wednesday, 8 July to 23:00 on Thursday, 9 July.
The areas that have been identified for valve installations, and valve replacement including a water leak repairs are as follows:
· New valve installation on 1000mm steel pipe at No. 1 Isando outside of Bohler on corner Barbara and Isando roads.
· Bypass installation with PRV, at Kelvin and Western Street in Spartan for the purpose of managing pressures to Kempton Park CBD, Aston Manor, Allen Groove and Glen Marais.
· Replacement of 600mm, 450mm, 400mm Sasol garage at corner Barbara Road and Trek Street.
· Pipe repairs at Isando Supa Quick at corner Isando and Foundary Street, and valve replacement.
· Valve replacement at Daeraad and Bonaero Drive in Bonaero Park.
The impact of the interruption has been reduced by staggering the repair work to different points of the water supply network to allow for supply from unaffected reservoirs.
To mitigate the impact of the abovemetioned repair work on customers, water will be directly supplied from Northridge North and Jan Smuts reservoirs.
However, the following areas may still be affected depending on the estimated time it will take to complete the repairs:
Simba factory, lower Spartan, Kempton Park CBD, Aston Manor, Allen Groove, Nimrod Park, Glen Marais and Bredel, Isando Industrial, Croydon, Bonaero Park and Pomona.
