There will be water interruptions in some Randburg suburbs due to planned maintenance.
The water supply across the City of Johannesburg is normal, with reservoir levels across the city in a satisfactory position.
Johannesburg Water will implement planned a service interruption on 28 April for maintenance in Ferndale and extentions.
All streets in this area will be affected. Water will be switched off until 6pm. Restoration will take place between 6pm and midnight.
The reason for the repair is a major burst-welding on steel pipe in Pine Avenue.
Water tanks to be provided at the following sites:
- Republic Road corner Braam Fischer Drive
- Pretoria Avenue and Harley Street
- Hill Street and Kent Avenue
- Main Avenue and Republic Road
- Republic Road and Pine Avenue
