🚰 WATER SUPPLY UPDATE | 17:20

The Municipality has advised that high turbidity levels at the Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works continue to limit the amount of water that can be treated and supplied without compromising water quality.

As a result, the Chelsea Reservoir is again at a low level, and some residents may continue to experience low pressure or intermittent water supply.

I will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Kind regards,
Cllr Vernon Boggenpoel
Ward 12 NMBM

Good evening Residents,

I have been informed that the Chelsea Reservoir level has dropped to just 7% as of 17:15 today.

The exact cause is not yet clear, and I have requested further information. The municipality indicated they are making adjustments to prioritize high-lying areas in Kariega and inflow from Nooitgedaght remains restricted.

I will share updates as soon as they become available.

Kind regards,
Cllr Vernon Boggenpoel
