Interrupted water supply in parts of Johannesburg leaves Helen Joseph Hospital dry

Large parts of Johannesburg can expect another day of interrupted water supply.

Joburg Water is on Monday warning that Brixton, Hursthill, and Crosby are likely to be affected.

It’s understood a below-average inflow of water into the system has left reservoirs and towers at low levels.

The disruptions, which have been ongoing for close to a week now, have affected healthcare facilities.

The Democratic Alliance’s Jack Bloom said the water shortage had become unbearable for staff and patients at the Helen Joseph Hospital: “At least one patient had to order water from outside to give to fellow patients in his ward, toilets are stinking, there is going to be a big backlog of operations that had to be cancelled. I think it’s intolerable that Johannesburg Water inflicts this sort of thing on the hospital and the surrounding suburbs.”
