Residents in several Tshwane suburbs should brace for a lengthy dry spell next week, with the City confirming a 14-hour water supply interruption to accommodate essential pipeline work. Tie-in connections of this nature involve linking new infrastructure to an active network and typically require temporarily shutting off the water supply to allow technicians to complete the work safely. The City of Tshwane has apologised for the disruption the planned works may cause residents and businesses in the affected zones. Conservation measures urgedWhile confirming the interruption, the city also used the opportunity to renew its call for everyday water conservation. The city further encouraged residents to reuse greywater for gardening and flushing toilets and to install water-saving devices where possible.
