Joburg Water has advised residents of Johannesburg to check the load-shedding schedules in their areas on the Eskom and City Power websites, as water supply is affected by the power outages.
Joburg Water uses electricity to pump water from reservoirs into towers. It says power outages that last longer than four hours in some areas will either have water shortages or low water pressure.
They have urged residents to make alternative plans to ensure that they have water to last them through the power outage.
Joburg Water added they have made arrangements to lease mobile generators to assist when water shortages are experienced.
