Joburg Water aware of leaking pipe in Auckland Park
JOBURG – Joburg Water said the tie-in will be done by August 27 followed by the reinstatements of existing services to be completed by September 10.
Joburg Water is aware of the continuous water interruptions that have been affecting customers along Artillery Road in Auckland Park due to a leaking pipe.
In a released statement, Joburg Water said, “The dilapidated condition of the 150mm diameter pipe posed a number of challenges in the repair process which meant that the technical team had to, unfortunately, excavate in different sections of the pipe as and when a leak occurred.
“This resulted in a number of open trenches along the road”.
Joburg Water said they are prioritising completion of the newly laid section of pipe on the same road and once it is completed it will be tied in with the existing infrastructure. This intervention will ensure the reduced number of water interruptions and excavations on Artillery Road.
