According to mayor Mondli Gungubele, the situation has returned to normality in Benoni, Brakpan, Kempton Park, Germiston, Daveyton, Etwatwa and Tsakane.
Bedfordview, Primrose and Tembisa were still affected.
“In the meantime, our Water Department has been encouraged to increase the number of water tankers in these areas, as we look for a resolution to the network problem,” says the mayor.
“As Rand Water and Ekurhuleni engineers continue to work around the clock to bring the situation back to normal, we wish to emphasise the call to residents to assist the process by using the available water sparingly.
“Indeed our people have a right to be upset about the latest developments, and the officials have been given a clear mandate that this is not acceptable, and must be sorted out urgently.
“Let me take this opportunity to apologise to all the affected residents for the inconvenience caused, but also thank them for understanding the challenges we face.”
