Most areas within Polokwane Municipality are still experiencing water shortage due to water
supply stoppage from Olifantspoort Scheeme.
Yesterday in a letter addressed to the municipality, Lepelle Northern Water said: “This serves to
notify Polokwane Local Municipality of the stoppage of Olifantspoort Scheme’s Pump Station 3

without prior notification. There will be no water supply to Polokwane due to planned maintenance
affecting the operation of PS3. ESKOM reported that maintenance will be completed at 18:00
