Kenilworth
Kenilworth is covered here. A request from Kenilworth works like any other: name the suburb and street in the form, and say what you can see. Claremont lies to its north, with a page of its own: plumber in Claremont.
Claremont, Newlands, Rondebosch, Rosebank and Mowbray
Claremont has its own page, with a section on selling a house and a request checklist. Newlands, Rondebosch, Rosebank and Mowbray are covered on this page, so name your suburb in the form. A Tygerburger report of 30 March 2026 lists Rondebosch among the suburbs where the City replaced water pipes in early 2026.
Observatory, Wynberg, Plumstead, Diep River and Heathfield
These suburbs are covered here. The City's release of 2 September 2026 lists Wynberg (1,853 m, finished February 2026) and Heathfield (1,455 m, May 2026) among completed water-pipe projects. Infrastructure News reported sewer-pipe work in Wynberg and Plumstead in February 2025. That is past work on the City's network, and your own pipes are a plumber's job.
Constantia, Bergvliet, Tokai and the rest
Bergvliet, Bishopscourt, Constantia, Dennendal, Dreyersdal, Kirstenhof, Marina da Gama, Meadowridge, Tokai and Westlake are covered here. The City listed Constantia (1,244 m, May 2026) and Bergvliet (1,202 m, June 2026) among its completed water-pipe projects. Muizenberg is often counted as a Southern Suburb on maps. We list it with the plumber in the Southern Peninsula, so look there if you are on the False Bay side.

Who takes a burst-main report in the Southern Suburbs?
The City of Cape Town takes these reports. The reporting number is 0860 103 089. Follow the prompts. If you prefer text or online, the City accepts SMS 31373, water@capetown.gov.za and its service portal. Blockages on private property go to a registered plumber, while street blockages go to the City.
Keep people and pets away from suspected sewage and avoid contact. Stop using the affected toilet or drain. The City says blocked and overflowing sewers can be dangerous to your health.
Which jobs can I raise in the Southern Suburbs?
Match the job to the symptom. A damp wall or high bill points to leak detection, a slow or smelly drain to blocked drains, and a dead geyser to geyser repair or replacement. Renovating? Read about bathroom plumbing. Water coming through right now? Request an emergency plumber quote. Every service is under plumbing services, with ballparks on what a plumber costs. The rest of the map is on where we work.
