RE : UPDATE: POWER RESTORED – WILGE WTP

Maluti-a-Phofung Water would like to inform stakeholders and residents that power has been successfully restored at Wilge Water Treatment Plant at 12:35.

Following the prolonged outage, reservoir levels were depleted (empty) due to the interruption in water production. The plant has now resumed operations, and reservoirs are currently being refilled. The system is undergoing gradual re-pressurisation, and recovery will take time as storage levels stabilise.

Residents may experience the following during the restoration process:

• Low water pressure, particularly in high-lying areas
• Delayed water restoration while reservoirs are filling
• Possible water discolouration (brown or cloudy water) due to system depressurisation and re-pressurisation

This is a normal occurrence after extended outages.

Residents are advised to:

• Allow taps to run for a few minutes until water clears
• Use water sparingly while the system stabilises
• Store water where possible during the recovery period

Areas that were affected:
• Harrismith Town
• Bergview Complex
• Lotusville
• Skoomplaas
• Westerson
• Kingshill
• Bergsig
• Intabazwe (including high-lying areas)

Full restoration of supply will depend on reservoir recovery and system stabilisation.

Residents requiring water tanker assistance are requested to contact Mr. Mofokeng – 081 017 7582. 🚛💦

For updates and further information, please contact our Customer Service on 058 492 0599 or send a WhatsApp to 072 362 8045 and/or 072 323 9674.

RE : UPDATE: POWER FAILURE – WILGE WTW

Maluti-a-Phofung Water would like to update stakeholders and residents regarding the earlier power failure at Wilge Water Treatment Works.

Upon inspection this morning, the plant incoming power breaker was found to have tripped. The breaker was reset and the plant was successfully restarted at 08:45.

Due to low pressure in the pipeline following the outage, the Intabazwe pump is currently being primed to remove air and restore normal operating pressure. Water supply will stabilise once sufficient pressure has been re-established and reservoir levels recover.

Not all areas were fully affected; however, supply disruptions were experienced in the following areas, particularly in high-lying sections:

✔️ Harrismith Town, Bergview Complex, Lotusville, Skoomplaas, Westerson, KingsHill, Bergsig & Intabazwe. 📍

Residents may *continue to experience low pressure* or intermittent supply while the system stabilises.

Important Consumer Advisory

Due to system depressurisation and re-pressurisation, residents may experience:
• Temporary water discolouration (brown or cloudy water)
• Air in the pipelines
• Fluctuating pressure

This is a normal occurrence after power interruptions and pump restarts.

Residents are advised to:
• Allow water to run for a few minutes until it clears
• Store clean water where possible
• Use water sparingly during the recovery period

Residents requiring water tanker assistance are requested to contact Mr. Mofokeng – 081 017 7582.

For updates and further information, please contact our Customer Service on 058 492 0599 or send a WhatsApp to 072 362 8045 and/or 072 323 9674.

• Damage to municipal infrastructure is a serious offence.

In accordance with the relevant Water Services By-Laws and municipal regulations, a formal notice will be issued to the responsible property owner. All repair costs, including material, labour, and associated operational losses, will be recovered from the owner.

The municipality further reminds residents and contractors that no excavation, construction, or land alteration may be undertaken without prior municipal approval and confirmation of underground infrastructure locations. Failure to comply may result in legal action, financial liability, and service interruptions.
