Remember, the planned Rand Water shutdown takes place from 19:00 tonight to 05:00 on July 14.
The purpose of the shutdown is to replace old critical infrastructure.
The benefits of the shutdown include:
• Improving infrastructure reliability and availability;
• Reducing unplanned infrastructure breakdowns (emergency breakdowns);
• Allowing flexibility in that during maintenance, water supply can be supplemented from another pump station system, thereby reducing the impact of water supply interruptions;
• Upgrading old critical water supply infrastructure.
Johannesburg Water requested customers remain mindful and considerate when collecting water from tankers so that water remains for residents collecting after them.
Johannesburg Water will provide stationary tankers in critical areas like hospitals, clinics, municipal offices, schools, and police stations. There will also be roaming water tankers across the affected suburbs.
Alternative water supply: Southrand Hospital, Crown Garden Clinic, Rosettenville Clinic, Annie Burger Retirement Village, Carrick Place, Xavier Old Age Home and Crown Gardens Recreation Centre.
