The City of Matlosana Local Municipality is currently managing a scheduled service interruption affecting the water supply in the Klerksdorp Central Business District (CBD). This update serves to inform residents and business owners of the progress regarding infrastructure repairs in the area.

Infrastructure Maintenance at Margaretha Prinsloo Street

The interruption follows a burst water pipe identified at 37 Margaretha Prinsloo Street. To facilitate a safe and effective repair environment, the municipality has temporarily adjusted the water distribution network.

The maintenance window, which began at 09:00, is projected to conclude by 14:00. As of 12:00, technical teams remain on-site and are working steadily to finalize the restoration of the line.

Impact on Local Consumers

During this period, the entire Klerksdorp CBD footprint is affected. Consumers may notice the following:

Variable Water Pressure: Fluctuations in pressure as the system is worked on.
Temporary Supply Cessation: Certain blocks may experience a total lack of supply until the pipe is successfully sealed and the system is recharged.

The municipality advises businesses to take the necessary precautions to manage their water requirements until the scheduled completion time.
