Empty reservoir possibly to blame for water shortage

An empty water reservoir might be to blame for the water shortage in parts of Benoni.

Clr Stefanie Kruger, of ward 24, said she visited the Vlakfontein Reservoir and was told two different stories by Rand Water officials.

One of the workers told her the reservoir was eight per cent full, while another told her it was empty.

Kruger said an Ekurhuleni engineer told her it was four per cent full.

The councillor said she is investigating the matter which has affected parts of Crystal Park, Cloverdene and Fairleads.

Ekurhuleni told the City Times this morning that they should be able to shed light on the matter by noon, today.

The Rand Water spokesperson was not available for comment this morning.

More details will follow as soon as they become available.
