UPDATE: 29 August 2025 – 12:40
ALERT: TEMPORARY WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION: SOUTH RIDGE AREA
Cause: Burst pipe in Kekewich Drive. Due to some unforeseen technical issues, our waterworks response team had to expand their scope to replace a section of the 225mm steel pipe that’s deteriorated.
This proactive measure will help prevent future disruptions and potential pipe bursts after the repair work. The team is still working on-site, and we apologise for the delay. We’re hopeful they’ll complete the work within the next 2 hours.
We apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience.
Kind regards,
