“The larger part of the supply system that was affected by the O2 pipeline burst has recovered,” Rand Water stated.
“There are high-lying areas in Ekurhuleni such as Sunnyridge, Sunnyrock, Dawnview and Northridge that are struggling to either recover or maintain consistent water supply.”
“This is becoming a health hazard. We have been without water since Friday,” said Sunnyridge resident Manus Lombard.

The system in parts of Germiston and Kempton Park is taking longer to recover than expected. Reported that Sunnyridge, Sunnyrock, Dawnview and Northridge are still experiencing shortages. We are working with @City_Ekurhuleni to find solutions. [LE]— Rand Water (@Rand_Water) August 7, 2019
