Cape Town residents are being urged to brace for a major disruption as the City's Water and Sanitation Directorate prepares for a full day of planned outages on Tuesday, 9 December.
The shutdown, expected to last up to nine hours in several suburbs, forms part of a large-scale operation to overhaul ageing water infrastructure and install new components critical to long-term stability, as reported by The South African .
City officials say the upcoming work is unavoidable and aimed at strengthening the network for the benefit of customers, adding that households in affected areas should make arrangements ahead of time. Residents have been reminded to store water early, with the city stressing that all supply kept for the day must be placed in clean, sealed containers.
