In the article, ‘Taps scheduled to run dry’ on 3 May in Ward 102, published in Sandton Chronicle week ending 29 April, it was explained that many residents would have no water on 3 May. However, the scheduled water interruption has been changed to 5 May.
Ward 102 councillor, David Potter said 10 000 properties in the area will have no water on 5 May. He added that this disruption would take place for several hours and the reason for the stoppage is for a water reticulation upgrade.
