The disruptions affected areas within the Emerald Hill Reservoir Zone, including:

📍 Walmer
📍 Glen Hurd
📍 Newton Park
📍 Schauderville
📍 Mangold Park
📍 Greenacres
📍 Perridgevale
📍 Adcockvale
📍 Parsons Hill
📍 Glendinningvale
📍 Mill Park
📍 Linkside
📍 Mount Croix
📍 Richmond Hill
📍 High-lying areas of Central

Residents who continue to experience no water are urged to report the issue to the Municipality’s Call Centre on 0800 2050 50. The Call Centre is operational, and reported incidents will be investigated individually.

The Municipality appreciates residents’ patience and understanding while teams work to achieve full recovery.

Imagine it only took 30 seconds for you to help get the DA one step closer to winning the election on the 4th of November!

Well, I have good news for you. It will take just 30 seconds of your time to click on this link and help us prepare for Election Day.

In order to win NMB, we need to know who will be voting for us and that their details are correctly registered on the voters roll so that we can get you out to vote on election day.

This is the same reason the DA often phone you to make sure your details are still correct. In order to spare us (and you!) that phone call or two, why not update your details yourself?

Please go here: https://pledge.da.org.za/

It’s quick, easy, safe and painless and it will be of great assistance to my team! Also please share this link with your friends and family members so that we can get the message out to as many people as possible?

We will WIN NMB if we all are motivated enough to VOTE for the DA so that we can .

SAFETY ALERT!!!

The 5th Avenue,Walmer, refuse tip is in an absolutely horrendous state. We have written to the Municipality regarding the state thereof and requested them to urgently attend to this issue.

We strongly suggest that residents refrain from using this tip and rather use the other alternative tip i.e the Summerstrand tip, until such time as the 5th Avenue Walmer tip is in a good state to use.
