Johannesburg Water, the water and sanitation provider for the City of Johannesburg is rolling out a number of capital investment projects, including in Roodepoort.
These projects which are already underway are about renewal and rehabilitation of the water and sewer infrastructure to ensure that the service entity continues to deliver quality services to the residents of the city.
“Johannesburg Water always seeks to ensure that it puts the safety of the residents first whenever there is an excavation that it is embarking on, by ensuring that the open trenches are properly barricaded and warning signage erected at all times. In addition to this, the organisation will continue to engage and educate communities throughout the city about dangers of the construction sites,” says Johannesburg Water spokesperson Eleanor Mavimbela.
During the construction period, there will be open trenches while the pipes are being replaced or installed.
“Johannesburg Water requests residents to be extra vigilant when there is an open trench in their area to avoid accidents, and a special plea to parents to assist the company by educating their children to be careful and play away from these construction sites with open trenches,” says Mavimbela.
