Water tankers available during Rand Water maintenance

Bulk supplier Rand Water has begun conducting extensive maintenance on its infrastructure. The maintenance started is set to continue until July 29.

According to Johannesburg Water (JW), the bulk supplier will commence maintenance work that will affect JW’s systems that are supplied by the Eikenhof and Zwartkopjes pump stations, including the Daleside Booster Station.

“During this time, JW customers will be impacted by low pressure to no water supply. It is estimated that full recovery of the systems may take approximately five days or longer after the supply has been fully restored,” the entity’s statement read.

JW has made arrangements for alternative water supply at strategic areas like hospitals, clinics, schools, municipal offices, police stations and shopping centres. The entity has promised to keep residents informed about the maintenance progress. Residents will receive regular updates on Johannesburg Water communication platforms and through ward councillors for affected areas.
