PUBLIC NOTICE
LOW RESERVOIR LEVELS
RIEBECKSTAD
27 FEBRUARY 2026.
Matjhabeng Local Municipality wishes to inform residents that the main storage reservoirs located in Riebeckstad are currently experiencing critically low water levels.
The Riebeckstad Reservoir supplies a significant portion of Matjhabeng. As a result, residents in high-lying areas of Welkom, including Flamingo Park, Dagbreek, Rheederpark and Thabong Far East , may experience very low water pressure or intermittent water supply.
In addition, the eastern parts of Matjhabeng, including Ventersburg and Hennenman, are also affected.
Water carting services will be provided in the affected areas as an interim measure until reservoir levels stabilise and the water system fully recovers.
Residents are strongly urged to use water sparingly during this period to assist the system in recovering as quickly as possible.
The Municipality apologises for the inconvenience caused and appreciates your patience, understanding and cooperation.
