“Rand Water is failing to maintain its infrastructure. Waters cuts have been problematic since 2014,” said Guerriero.

“From February 23 to March 3, residents of wards 92 and 36 were without water due to vandalism at Rand Water infrastructure in Alberton. And they are again without water,” said Guerriero.

“City of Ekurhuleni will have roving water tankers. Parts of the water network were dry for almost 10 days,” he said.
