“We are optimistic that all affected areas will resume normal water supply as the Olifantspoort line has been restored to full capacity. The municipality understands the inconvenience caused by the shortage of water due to recent stoppages on both the Ebenezer and Olifantspoort lines, resulting in low reservoir levels in most areas,” Selala said.
