The following Johannesburg Water systems are impacted during the maintenance period:
- All Sandton and Midrand systems
- South Hills Tower
- Alexandra Park
- Randjieslaagte
- Linksfield reservoirs.
“Full recovery of the systems will take several days after maintenance has been completed. However, the areas supplied by the Sandton and Midrand reservoirs and towers may take longer to recover because the reservoirs need to first build capacity after being empty,” said Johannesburg Water in a statement.
