Disaster management teams are on high alert as parts of the Western Cape have been warned to brace for more inclement weather.
The town is one of the worst affected areas by recent floods in the province.
Citrusdal was the worst affected area. Floods washed away part of the N7 road, cutting off entry into the town.
The Brakfontein Bridge, on the Mouton Citrus farm, being used to transport goods to and from Citrusdal is also in use again.
More than 20 communities remain cut off from the rest of the Western Cape following the heavy rains, while a helicopter had to be used to deliver food.
