Loevenstein and Hoheizen residents should prepare for a planned water shut-off on Tuesday, 10 November, from 09:00 to 19:00.
Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate says the interruption will allow teams to connect a newly installed pipeline to the existing network. The connections are in Kudu Road and at the Lincoln Road intersections with Bates and Sturke Roads.
The city’s notice, published on 6 November, says the two areas will have no water during the scheduled work. Residents are advised to store water beforehand in clean, sealed containers for domestic use.
Keep taps closed during the interruption to avoid losses or damage when supply returns. The city cautions that maintenance can be more complicated than anticipated and may take longer than planned.
Check the official maintenance notice and the city’s official alerts for updates. This report describes Tuesday’s planned interruption, not an independently confirmed outage or a guarantee of restoration at 19:00.
