The Citrusdal municipality in the Western Cape said more rain had been forecast for the area from Tuesday.
The town is one of the worst affected areas by recent floods in the province.
The N7, used as the main access road, was washed away, cutting off entry into the town.
Municipal manager, Gerrit Matthyse, said that although major roads into the town had been repaired and other services restored, problems persisted.
“Eighty percent to 70% rain predictions for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so we are already getting ready for most possible again flooding. We pray for no floods but based on the consistent rain for three days, persistent rain for three days, we are getting ready.”
Matthyse added that the town was currently without water, due to borehole issues, however, water tankers had been dispatched to supply communities.
