The company stated that the disruption would last approximately three days, during which teams would carry out improvement works intended to strengthen the reliability of water supply in the affected communities.

GWL said the scheduled works form part of broader efforts to upgrade and maintain its operational systems.

The company did not specify which communities within the two regions would face the interruption, though it confirmed that the exercise is planned and not the result of an emergency.

Residents living within the affected zones have been advised to store sufficient water in advance to reduce the inconvenience they are likely to experience during the three-day window.

GWL also called on consumers to use available water carefully and to draw on stored supplies until normal service is restored.

The company appealed for cooperation from the public as its teams carry out the scheduled exercise.

GWL assured affected customers that it would work to restore normal water supply as quickly as possible once the improvement works are completed.

The announcement follows a pattern of similar short-term interruptions in recent weeks, during which GWL cited operational challenges at treatment plants and pumping stations as the reason for temporary supply cuts in various parts of the country.
