KOMANI – Several areas of Komani are affected by an unplanned water supply interruption following a major pipe burst in the Gardens Clinic area.
Chris Hani District Municipality confirmed on Thursday, 22 October 2026, that water supply from the low-level reservoir had been shut off to allow repair work to be carried out on the damaged pipeline.
According to the municipality, the affected areas include Top Town, Queen Drive and its intersecting streets, Grey, Prince Alfred and Tylden streets, Green, Porter and Chalmers streets, as well as parts of Westbourne Park.
The interruption comes as the municipality works to address the burst pipe and restore water supply to the affected areas.
However, the municipality has not provided an estimated completion time for the repairs or indicated when residents can expect their water supply to be restored.
In the public notice, Municipal Manager Gcobani Mashiyi apologised to residents for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected interruption.
Residents experiencing water supply problems or requiring further information are encouraged to contact the municipality’s 24-hour Customer Call Centre on 0800 100 100.
