Damaged pipeline causes water supply interruption in Pretoria North

Technicians are repairing a water pipeline to Pretoria North, says the City of Tshwane.

According to the city, damaged infrastructure from the Wonderboom reservoir led to supply interruption in several areas.

The city's spokesperson, Lindela Mashigo, said it was first made aware of the damaged pipeline on Sunday.

“Our technicians could only manage to get the pipe fittings from the supplier on Monday afternoon.

“The team then effected repairs on Tuesday and restored water the same evening. However, it was later discovered that the pipeline was damaged at other points, which were not initially visible,” said Mashigo
