According to municipal spokesperson Phillip Montshiwa, the maintenance will affect different areas supplied by various supply systems, leading to variable impacts on water pressure or complete water unavailability.
“Our reservoir water levels are currently low, and some of them are empty,” Montshiwa claimed.
To alleviate the impact, the municipality has arranged for water tankers to provide water to the affected areas along with a route which the tanker will follow.
