The 54-hour water shutdown for maintenance work has wrapped up with minimal disruption.
On Monday morning, Rand Water began installing a new valve as part of a R600-million upgrade.
The City of Johannesburg says that residents can now breathe a sigh of relief after maintenance work on the B11 bulk supply line of Rand Water went by with minimum impact on households.
