While progress has been made, several other municipalities in the region are still grappling with water supply challenges.

Parts of Germiston and surrounding areas, which rely on the Russel Roads reservoir and Churchill pump station for their supply, are also experiencing low to no water pressure due to high demand and consumption.

Rand Water is implementing technical interventions to balance the supply across the province.
