Sol Plaatje residents should prepare for water flow interruption─── 09:10 Wed, 13 Jul 2022

The Sol Plaatje Municipality in Kimberley and surrounding areas requests residents and businesses to prepare for an anticipated water flow interruption on 21 July 2022.
In a notice issued by the municipality, it states as a result of supply interruption for maintenance planned by Eskom, it will not be able to pump water from the Riverton to the Newton Reservoir for 12 hours, until Eskom is done and has given the municipality the go-ahead to pump.
"We will have to close valves to keep the reservoirs full, which means that there will be no supply of water to households during the day, until Eskom is done with its maintenance. They anticipate this will last for 12 hours."
Sol Plaatje residents will either have no water or low water pressure during this day.
