According to Matshidiso Mothapo, Communications Manager at the Municipality, the Ebenezer Plant experienced disruptions in electricity several times this week whilst the Olifantspoort Plant experienced several shut offs due to high level of mud in the water following heavy rains and vandalism of infrastructure.
“Currently, most of the reservoirs in the city are at 0% and all areas of supply are affected. Both plants, however, are now reported to be in operation and running at full capacity,” he explained.
Areas receiving water are urged to use the water sparingly as the water supply is under serious strain.
