Justice Mohale, media relations manager for Rand Water, said, “Rand Water apologises for the inconvenience, but this was a necessary project as we do not want to waste water due to a leak.
“As infrastructure gets older these problems can occur and we are trying our best to make sure the problem is fixed to avoid wasting water as South Africa is a water scarce country.
“We ask consumers to be patient with us as the project is completed and we urge all consumers to use water sparingly.”
