FREE STATE- Water supply has been cut to parts of Bloemfontein following heavy rainfall that caused rising water levels in the Modder River. The increased flow has also affected the Rustfontein and Mockes dams, sending large volumes of water into the Maselspoort Water Treatment Works.
According to the Mangaung Metro Municipality, the strong currents have carried debris such as branches into the system, making it unsafe to continue operations. As a result, the Maselspoort Water Treatment Works has been temporarily shut down to prevent damage and ensure water quality is not compromised.
