The City of Ekurhuleni has advised that Rand Water has completed the repairs to burst water pipe that has caused water interruptions in some areas of Ekurhuleni.
According to Nhlanhla Cebekhulu, divisional head communication and media relations, Rand Water has started to pump water through the pipeline.
“Due to the extend of repairs and the longer duration that it took to complete the work, resulting in the network going for longer without water, most reservoirs are at lower levels,” said Cebekhulu.
Cebekhulu said this has affected critical points of the reticulation network.
“We therefore foresee slight delay in having the network stable as the system is air tide and the full restoration will probably be at 10pm.
“We apologise for the inconvenience caused to the consumers, and we assure that our technical team, working jointly with the Rand Water, will ensure full supply is restored.
“Consumer are advised to use water sparingly during the restoration period, while supply reaches all areas, especially high-laying areas.”
