The City of Ekhuruleni is experiencing a water supply interruption following an explosion at Rand Water’s Palmiet Booster Pump Station on Sunday which left several areas without water.
According to CoE spokesperson, Zweli Dlamini the water supply interruption is affecting Thembisa, Clayville, Serengeti, and surrounding areas.
Dlamini adds that Rand Water has stated that the pump station is operating at 55% percent of its daily capacity; however, the incident has depleted water supplies in the reservoirs supplied from that pump station.
