!@#$! the weather's miserable, they're cutting off the water for a day at 08:00 tomorrow for maintenance and now stage 2 tonight :mad:

... at least I'm in the 21:00 slot so should just be an hour for us.

Need to fill some containers tonight .
We have 10kl of tank water welcome to come collect.

Is that the Baywest re-routing or the Buffelsfontein project?

So I'm being hit from 16h00 - 18h30, but stage 2 starts at 17h00.

Does this mean I'm hit for ~1 hour, or am I not hit at all?

Baywest re-routing - spotted this on the NMMM website when I was checking how long the job would take:

... guess Danny's bringing his FIFA expertise to the Bay (no prizes for guessing how I voted) :)

BayWest I'm sure.

What is it they're doing on Buffelsfontein?

iirc they are upgrading the drainage infrastructure for the area due to increased housing. Also to relieve water retention in the area near the driving range.

You will mostly likely be out for +-1.5 hours then.

Well that's the way it works where I stay.

The City will only implement Stage 1 load shedding from 17:00 to 18:00 and 20:00 to 22:00, but Stage2 from 18:00 to 20:00.

Doesn't save me, pity, been a good ride, I'm off at 6.

Took a drive down to PnP Plumstead for some supplies and noticed all fast food stores closed :mad:

Then to top it off PnP Liquor is open with the brightest lights in the darkness :whistling:

So Randpark Ridge got plunged into darkness by the incompetent City Power at 8. Used to be on 8B. Should be on 6B per their website. Apparently they have not sorted their systems yet. So it's KWAAAAA! Feeble apology on Twitter. Blithering incompetent clowns! :mad:
