LATEST ON ZERO-PRESSURE TESTS

As per the City of Cape Town, zero-pressure testing and step-testing are part of the installation process for zone management infrastructure.

“Tests are done in advance to see if any unmapped inflows need to be considered before installing new infrastructure (such as pressure-reducing valves for pressure management). In these affected areas, some residents may experience low water pressure while some may have no water during the testing period,” the metro municipality said.

Zero-pressure tests (ZPT) and conditional assessments will be done on the water supply network, resulting in water supply disruptions in the following areas:

• Tuesday, 2 December, from 10:00 until 16:00: Brackenfell, Brackenfell South, Protea Hoogte, De Oude Spruit, Kaapzig, Morgan Industria, Burgundy and Sonkring.
• Thursday, 4 December, from 10:00 until 16:00: Delft
