The utility said the water demand now consistently exceeded the supply, and the restrictions were implemented “to allow for the recovery of its network systems”.
Residents have been urged to use water sparingly and in line with the City of Johannesburg’s level 1 water restrictions. Due to the latest set of restrictions, 36 reservoirs in Gauteng have been affected.
