Planned water maintenance across Cape Town runs from 9 to 14 November, with different effects depending on the location and work involved.

Monday’s Plumstead shut-off

On Monday, 9 November, a shut-off is scheduled from 09:00 to 19:30 for Woodgate, Southfield, Severn, Basil and Medway roads in Plumstead. Nearby roads may also be affected.

Further interruptions and pressure tests are scheduled during the week. Check the City’s notice, published on 6 November, for your street, date and expected impact.

Not every listed area faces a cut

Visual leak checks in Welgelegen, Table View, Tokai and Zevenwacht should not interrupt supply. The Kenwyn/Rondebosch East supply-main work involves an alternative supply at reduced pressure, not a stated continuous shutdown until Saturday.

Prepare, then check for updates

Store water in clean, sealed containers and keep taps closed during interruptions. These are planned windows, not confirmed live outages, and work may overrun. Check @CityofCTAlerts for changes and tanker locations.
