Rand Water maintenance to affect Tshwane reservoirs

Water utility Rand Water has informed the metro that it intends to commence with extensive maintenance of its infrastructure across Gauteng’s municipalities from June 22 to July 29.

The planned maintenance, according to the water utility, is aimed at preserving the lifespan of its infrastructure and improving its reliability during the higher summer demand.

The work will involve the replacement of Rand Water’s bulk water meters that supply various reservoirs in the metro.

“Where possible, the affected reservoirs will be filled to maximum capacity prior to the maintenance work,” said metro spokesperson, Lindela Mashigo.

“However, the water supply may be interrupted during the upkeep period and residents are therefore urged to use water sparingly.

Tshwane reservoirs, which are supplied by Rand Water’s Palmiet System, will be affected on different dates:

– On July 1, the Palmiet System will be pumping at 60% for 8 hours;
– on July 15, the system will be reduced to 68% for 2 days and
– on July 29, it will be pumping at 76%.”
