It will be a miserable and dry start to the week for thousands of Joburg residents after Johannesburg Water announced a shutdown in several areas from Sunday evening.
The utility said water meters in the Sandton System would be closed from 8 pm “to ensure equal water supply distribution to struggling systems and areas within the Johannesburg Water network”.
They will be reopened at 4 am on Monday but will take several hours for the water system to recover fully and for water to run from taps as normal.
“The Linbro Park and Marlboro direct water feeds will be affected the most during these interventions, and all customers fed by the Sandton System may experience poor pressure to no water overnight,” Johannesburg Water said.

Five reservoirs and two water towers will be affected, these feed water to over 1 200 suburbs and a possible 62 000 households.
Below is an alphabetical list of areas that could see little to no water.
