Rand Water began its scheduled infrastructure maintenance on Tuesday evening. This means water cuts in large parts of Johannesburg. A major pipeline will be worked on over the next four days. According to Johannesburg Water, supply will be reduced by different amounts in different parts of the metro.
Johannesburg Water said water supply at Zwartkopjes booster station will be reduced by 40% for a period of 24 hours and by 24% at the Eikenhof booster station for 58 hours.
Roaming water tankers will be provided to the affected areas and alternative water supply will be arranged at hospitals, clinics, schools, municipal offices, police stations, and shopping centres. It is estimated that full recovery of the systems may take about five days or longer after the supply has been fully restored,” Johannesburg Water said.
Areas not affected by the shutdown include most Sandton areas. A part of Sandton supplied from the Dunkeld reservoir will be affected.
