Emergency repairs to Bronkhorstspruit water treatment plant
06 August 2020
The City of Tshwane wishes to inform the residents of Bronkhorstspruit, Zithobeni, Rethabiseng, Ekangala in Region 7 and Thembisile Hani Local Municipality in Mpumalanga about the anticipated sporadic water supply interruption in the area from this month of August until November 2020.
These interruptions come as a result of the intensity of the repair work that is being effected on the continuous components failure due to the ageing infrastructure at the Bronkhorstspruit water treatment plant. It is estimated that the restoration period will take about 12 weeks.
The repairs at the water treatment plant include the least casting of impellers, repair of casings, trust assemblies installation, bearings, laser alignment and electrical work on the motors.
The City is mindful and concerned about the impact of this essential work that needs to be carried out and remains committed to resolving this challenge within the provided timeframe.
Should a service interruption occur at any given time, the City has arranged water tankers to supply its customers.
