At about 5.30am on Monday we started recommissioning the pipe. We are expecting that water will be fully restored in all areas later today, said Justice Mohale on Monday morning.
“We are continuing to monitor the system and its recovery.
“We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused and we urge for your continued support to use water sparingly as the system recovers.”
