High levels of load shedding could put an R800 million investment in electricity infrastructure in Cape Town at risk, the City of Cape Town has said. | nickymccain

Western Cape Local Government MEC Anton Bredell warned that the biggest concerns facing municipalities were their sewerage and water works that were already under severe pressure, as the lack of electricity resulted in pumps stalling at plants. Last week, Bredell said the province was ready to handle high levels of load shedding over the festive season, and that the provincial Disaster Management Centre remained on alert.

"Previous experience has shown that municipal water and sewage systems struggle with extended load shedding above Stage 4, so this is of concern for us," Bredell said. Level 6 load shedding means people can expect four load shedding stages of around four hours at a time. This can be implemented 18 times over a four-day period.

"We are urging people to save electricity wherever they can and to plan with the above reality in mind," he said. Western Cape Premier Alan Winde said:"The Western Cape government's energy crisis contingency plan – with the provincial Disaster Management Centre taking the lead in managing the situation should it worsen – is sound and is continuously updated."In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
