Roodepan Water outage update 10:40 am Sunday, 22/01/2017
“Regarding the problem of supply of water in Roodepan, it is reported that the Pressure Regulating Valve (PVR) is technically faulty, it shuts down water flow erratically and as such the engineers are busy shifting the valve from automatic to manual. Once this is done, the water will flow again. The PVR will be investigated to analyse the cause for prevention of such in future.” Sello Matsie, Sol Plaatje Municipal Spokes Person.
