WATER SUPPLY UPDATE 12:30 08 November 2026 | MOTHERWELL-CHELSEA BULK WATER PIPELINE REPAIRS

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality wishes to inform residents that welding repairs on the 700 mm Motherwell-Chelsea bulk water pipeline near the FM Tower have been successfully completed.

Maintenance teams are currently closing the scours and will commence with priming the pipeline shortly in preparation for restoring the system.

Water supply recovery is anticipated to take place overnight. By lunchtime tomorrow, the system is expected to begin recovering to full pressure, which will allow the Chelsea Reservoir to be replenished.

Residents in the affected areas may continue to experience reduced water pressure or intermittent supply while the system recovers.

Residents are urged to continue using water sparingly and reducing consumption to assist with the recovery process.

The Municipality sincerely apologises for the prolonged disruption and inconvenience caused by this unforeseen incident and thanks residents for their patience, understanding and cooperation while teams worked to complete the repairs.
