Handwashing Day celebrated
Global Handwashing Day was celebrated in Dunoon on Thursday 15 October, as the City of Cape Town joined forces with multiple partners to facilitate the distribution of smart hand washing devices. Pictured is the City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, showing alternative methods of hand washing, using the Tippy Taps method. See full story on page 5.
PIPE BURSTS: REPAIRS AFFECT BLOUBERG WATER SUPPLY
Water disruptions annoy KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels
F
uming residents in Bloubergstrand and Atlantic Beach are at their wits’ end over water disruptions to their areas. They say lack of communication from the City of Cape Town sparked outrage in their areas, and they are demanding answers. Julia Lewis from Bloubergstrand says she started experiencing low water pressure last week. “As a taxpaying citizen, basic service delivery such as having access to water should not be an issue,” she said. “ I understand everything cannot always go smoothly, and hiccups will occur, but all we ask is for the
City to communicate with residents. We first have to complain on social media before getting any answers. With many of us still working from home, the water issue is becoming a bigger problem.” Brent Alexander said he lodged various complaints to the City. “There are many days that no water runs from my taps and it’s unacceptable,” he told TygerBurger. “What makes matters worse is the ridiculous bills I get at the end of each month for water I do not use. The City, however, assured me it would look into it. I’m not the only resident with this problem. There are so many! Immediate intervention is certainly called for.”
After investigating the water disruptions in the areas where the problem was occurring, the City pointed out there was a major pipe burst in Sir David Baird Street in Bloubergstrand on Friday 16 October. “The repairs have been completed and the water supply to Big Bay and Bloubergstrand was restored,” the City’s Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, said. “Residents are advised that there may be a brief period of water discolouration.” The City issued a statement on Monday 19 October advising residents in Atlantic Beach Estate of a water supply disruption on Thursday 22 October. The City’s water and sanitation department will be working on the water supply
main feeding Atlantic Beach Estate on Thursday 22 October, which will lead to a temporary disruption of water supply between 11:00 and 15:00. The work involved installation of a pressure reduction valve on the 300 mm diameter pipeline feeding the area. “Residents are advised to store water upfront in sealed clean containers for use in this period and ensure their taps are closed to avoid water damage or loss when the supply is restored,” the statement said. “The work forms part of the City’s water demand management and conservation strategy to reduce the possibility of water losses resulting from pipe bursts in the water supply network.”
