WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTION IN POLOKWANE MUNICIPALITY

Polokwane Municipality wishes to inform residents that, following communication received from Lepelle Northern Water (LNW), water supply across all areas in Polokwane will be impacted due to an Eskom power interruption.

This outage has temporarily affected LNW’s ability to pump water from Pump Station 3, which supplies water from the Olifantspoort Water Treatment Works.

This disruption comes as municipal reservoirs were in the process of recovering water levels, and it may delay full restoration efforts. LNW, in its media statement, said “Eskom was attending to the issue at its Eerstegoud substation, and no estimated restoration time has been provided”.

Polokwane Municipality requests residents’ understanding and patience as the municipality monitors the situation closely and coordinates with LNW. Updates will be provided as soon as further information becomes available.

Polokwane Municipality regrets any inconvenience caused and appreciates cooperation of all affected users.
