City of Joburg’s water and sanitation service provider, Joburg Water, have warned residents that more suburbs will be affected by the implementation of planned service interruptions for maintenance next week.
Various streets in Emmarentia and Greenside will be without water from 8am until 7pm on 12 April.The disruptions are prompted by the City’s repairs to the existing water mains for a new development.
Honeydew, North Riding, and the surrounding suburbs will be without water from 9am on 12 to 3pm on 13 April. This is due to the shutdown of the water supply as Rand Water will be doing repairs at the Honeydew water tower and reservoir.
