The Rand Water shutdown, which was scheduled to take place from July 11 to July 13 has been moved to July 13 until July 14.
In a statement from Johannesburg Water (JW), they said the shutdown completion date and time have been moved from 15:00 on July 13 until 05:00 on July 14.
According to the entity, the purpose of the planned shutdown is to complete a tie-in between the A19 and B14 with a new pipeline, installation of isolation valves, and systems upgrades at Rand Water’s Eikenhof pump station.
“The Rand Water Daleside pump station will also be impacted during the shutdown, as well as Johannesburg Water’s Yeoville reservoir,” the statement read.
Further updates on the impacted Johannesburg infrastructure (reservoirs, towers and direct feeds) as well as detailed information on alternative water supply will be provided.
Information will be provided on the official Johannesburg Water social media platforms.
