“The municipality had received complaints of water pressure loss, or in some instances a complete interruption of water supply. We then engaged with Rand Water at the time, which said that their reservoirs were running low, and this is what had caused the reduction of water to the municipal reservoirs. This has been resolved and the water supply is back to normal,” said Montshiwa.
He added that to mitigate the challenge, the municipality had availed water tankers to Glenharvie and other areas affected to ensure that residents do not go without the essential service.
