NELSON MANDELA BAY | 24 HOUR NOOITGEDAGT WATER TREATMENT WORKS SHUTDOWN WILL AFFECT MOST OF THE METRO

Residents are hereby notified that the City requires a 24-hour shutdown of the Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works to perform the final connection of the new Phase 3 upgrade.

The shutdown, scheduled for Tuesday, March 29, 2022, will allow the contractor on site to connect the new Phase 3 upgrade section into the existing Nooitgedagt Water Treatment and Transfer system. 

To enable the work to be performed, the existing Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works will require a complete shutdown.

This shutdown for the connection is part of the first steps towards making Nooitgedagt Phase 3 operational. This will be a significant milestone reached and will greatly assist the NMBM’s ability to provide a more secure source of water going forward.

While we have made every effort to ensure that water is maintained in the majority of areas, we anticipate that some areas may experience water outages during this time.

Affected areas may include the following:

1)  Rowallan Park

2) Francis Evatt Park

3)  Hunters Retreat

4) Bay West

5) Parsonsvlei / Westbrook

6)  Morningside

7)  Kabega Park
