Residents of Dassierand, Kannoniers Park, Witrand Hospital, Promosa, Mohadin, and the western parts of Ikageng should prepare for a full-day water shutdown on Thursday, 5 June 2025, from 06:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
This planned outage is part of critical maintenance and inspection work at the Ventersdorp Road Main Water Pump Station. The JB Marks Local Municipality’s Technical Services team will be conducting investigations to support upcoming infrastructure upgrades, which are necessary to ensure long-term service reliability.
📍 Areas Affected:
Dassierand
Kannoniers Park
Witrand Hospital
Promosa
Mohadin
Western Ikageng (all extensions)
💧 Important Note:
The Eersterandjies Reservoirs will also be affected. This means water pressure may drop or be unavailable entirely during the specified hours.
🔔 What You Can Do:
Store water ahead of time for drinking, cooking, and hygiene.
Use water sparingly both before and during the shutdown.
Check in with elderly neighbours or anyone who may need help preparing.
The municipality has acknowledged the inconvenience and asks for the community’s patience as they work to improve the area’s water systems.
Stay prepared, Potch!
Inwoners van Dassierand, Kannonierspark, Witrand Hospitaal, Promosa, Mohadin en die westelike gedeeltes van Ikageng moet gereed maak vir ’n beplande watersluiting op Donderdag, 5 Junie 2025, van 06:00 tot 18:00.
Hierdie onderbreking is nodig vir tegniese ondersoeke by die Ventersdorpweg Hoofwaterpompasem, as deel van voorbereidings vir toekomstige infrastruktuur-opgraderings. Die Tegniese Dienste-afdeling van die JB Marks Plaaslike Munisipaliteit is verantwoordelik vir hierdie proses wat daarop gemik is om die waterdiens op die lang termyn te verbeter.
📍 Gebeërd Areas:
Dassierand
Kannonierspark
Witrand Hospitaal
Promosa
Mohadin
Wes-Ikageng (alle uitbreidings)
💧 Belangrike Inligting:
Die Eersterandjies-reservoirs sal ook geraak word, wat kan lei tot lae waterdruk of geen toevoer gedurende die geskeduleerde tyd nie.
🔔 Wat jy kan doen:
Bêre water vooraf vir drink, kook en persoonlike higiëne.
Gebruik water spaarsaam voor en tydens die onderbreking.
Help bejaarde bure of dié wat dalk bystand benodig om voor te berei.
Die munisipaliteit vra omverskoning vir die ongerief en vra vir inwoners se samewerking terwyl belangrike verbeterings aan die waterinfrastruktuur gedoen word.
Wees voorbereid, Potch!
