Illegal Gutter Connections Can Lead to Sewer Overflows

With increased rainfall in winter, illegal gutter-to-sewer connections can place significant strain on the sewer system and contribute to sewer overflows, flooding and environmental pollution.

Many properties incorrectly channel rainwater from roofs and gutters into the sewer system instead of stormwater infrastructure. During periods of heavy rain, this excess water overloads sewer pipes, increasing the risk of blockages, spills and damage to both public and private infrastructure.

Property owners are encouraged to ensure that:
💧Roof gutters and downpipes discharge into the correct stormwater system and not into sewer drains.
💧Sewer inspection chambers are sealed and properly maintained.
💧Private drainage systems are checked regularly for leaks, blockages or illegal connections.
💧Grease, litter, building rubble and foreign objects are not disposed of into drains or toilets.

Preventing illegal gutter connections helps protect infrastructure, reduces environmental contamination and supports safer, cleaner public spaces.

Please do your part!

💧 Winter Readiness: Preparing Properties and Public Spaces 💧

Each year, our team works closely with the City of Cape Town and local stakeholders to support winter preparedness efforts across our districts. This includes reporting infrastructure faults, monitoring stormwater systems, assisting with urban cleaning initiatives and helping to identify public safety concerns before severe winter weather sets in.

💧 What you can do to prepare for Winter 💧

Businesses, property owners and residents also play an important role in helping reduce winter-related risks.

💧 Property and Workplace Safety 💧
Clear gutters and drains of leaves, litter and debris to help prevent flooding and water damage.
Check outdoor lighting and replace damaged globes or fittings to improve visibility during shorter daylight hours.
Trim overhanging branches near roofs, pavements and public walkways to minimise storm-related hazards.
Install or inspect non-slip mats and surfaces in entrances and high-traffic areas.
Clean and test security cameras to ensure visibility during wet weather conditions.

💧 Vehicle and Road Safety 💧
Check tyres, brakes and lights before travelling in heavy rain.
Replace worn windscreen wipers and ensure demisters are functioning correctly.
Keep emergency contact numbers saved and accessible.

💧 Pedestrian Safety 💧
Encourage staff working outdoors or roadside to wear reflective or bright clothing.
Report damaged pavements, potholes or faulty streetlights to help reduce public risk.
