City Bell Trunk-Line Repair Continues With Extended Outages Reported

Residents also cite a long-running sidewalk leak reducing pressure.

Overview

  • ABSA is repairing a trunk water pipe at 471 and 133 in City Bell, affecting the sector bounded by streets 467–476 and avenues 131–137.
  • The utility says users may experience low pressure or no water and that service will return progressively once work concludes.
  • Residents reported losing supply around 8:00 and said an estimated 13:00 restoration was missed, with many homes still without water after 15:00.
  • ABSA urged households to conserve by limiting use to consumption and hygiene and avoiding irrigation, car washing, and pool filling.
  • Neighbors on 20 between 64 and 65 report a leak persisting for at least 15 days that wastes water, damages the sidewalk, and is said to worsen pressure, with ABSA directing complaints to 0800-999-2272 and its Facebook and Telegram channels.
