Rand Water’s planned maintenance is expected to continue until July 29.
With Rand West City confirmed to be one of the towns affected, the Ranfontein Herald hit the streets to find out what residents had to say.
Lerato Sesia said, “It is going to affect me, it is not good.”
Thabo Makhetha added, “It will affect us. We have to bathe, work and cook. Water is essential, everyone needs it. Lack of water can cause diseases. The water these days is also not as clean as it used to be. Being short of water is not good.”
Miriam Motaga het gesê, “As daar nie water is nie, hoe gaan ons werk? Ons kan niks maak sonder water nie.’”
Gerda Swanepoel het bygevoeg, “As ons solank kan reg maak en solank ons nie weke sonder water moet wees nie, is dit nie ‘n probleem nie. Die munisipaliteit moet ook aan die ou mense dink wanneer hulle die water afsit. Ou mense kan nie met kanne loop nie.”
