Rand Water 54-hour planned water outage

Rand Water, the bulk water supplier, will be working on their raw water pipe that supplies their Vereeniging water purification plant.

As a result, the purification plant will not be operational on November 15 from 05:00 for a period of 54 hours.

Joburg Water spokesperson Eleanor Mavimbela said this will impact on water supply from the Rand Water Eikenhof pump station to the south of Johannesburg CBD, northern and western areas as supply will be reduced by 25%.

“Water supply from the Rand Water Swartkoppies system to the central CBD will be also reduced by 50%. Water supply reduction will result in poor to no water supply during peak water demand periods in most high-laying and high-demand areas. Stationary and roaming water tankers will be made available where feasible to reduce the impact to consumers,” she said.
