According to the media relations manager of Rand Water, Justice Mohale, Rand Water would like to thank all consumers as well as its municipal customers for the manner in which we were able to manage and control our water resources during the duration of the Shutdown.

A project of this magnitude was not without its challenges, but these were jointly and successfully managed. Hereto, our municipal customers, in particular, worked proactively and responsibly with us in sourcing appropriate solutions.

We extend our appreciation to the highly skilled Rand Water technical team that worked around the clock to allow the project to reach this final stage. The Rand Water network is operational and stable and all our reservoirs are meeting demand.

According to Mohale, The Rand Water ‘War Room’ will remain in place until 24h00 and will continue to closely monitor the water networks.

“As the project now enters its final commissioning stage, we may if necessary, provide a further media update. Rand Water requests consumers to continue using water sparingly,” said Mohale.

Water is part of our lives, but many of us do not respect water, and we waste or pollute it. Why don't you join Manzi on his mission. Answer these questions to see if you are Water Wise? #WaterWise pic.twitter.com/vrvex5TFbY
