Mogale City Local Municipality’s Water and Sanitation Services Department stated on Saturday, March 25, saying this was due to an Eikenhof System pump failure since Tuesday night.
This has reduced all booster stations’ pumping, causing lower reservoir levels with Kagiso, Luipaardsvlei, West Village, and Munsieville already experiencing low water pressure.
Rand Water also informed that the incident might result in the depletion of all Rand Water reservoirs. It has also been noted that some areas have been without water for several days. Mogale City Water services thus urged communities to use water sparingly. Water Tankers will also be made available in the most affected areas.
Rand Water further confirmed they are working on the issues and apologised for any inconvenience.
