New dates for Rand Water shutdown announced

The Rand Water shutdown, which was scheduled to take place from July 11 to July 13 has been moved to July 13 until July 14.

In a statement from Johannesburg Water (JW), they said the shutdown completion date and time have been moved from 15:00 on July 13 until 05:00 on July 14.
