Rand Water maintenance set to impact several suburbs in Gauteng
Rand Water will conduct maintenance on its key infrastructure across Gauteng. The longest scheduled maintenance will take 107 hours.
Bulk potable water supplier Rand Water will conduct critical maintenance on its key infrastructure resulting in major disruptions in Gauteng from Thursday, 29 May, until 2 June.
The water utility said the objective of the maintenance is to increase capacity and improve plant availability, reliability in preparation for the anticipated increase in supply volumes from August.
RAND WATER MAINTENANCE TO AFFECT ALL THREE METROS IN GAUTENG
Rand Water said maintenance activities will commence at different times and locations across various municipalities. However, the main maintenance operation is scheduled to begin at 3:00 on Thursday, 29 May and is expected to be completed at 17:00 on Monday, 2 June.
During the above-mentioned period, pumping capacity will be reduced at Eikenhof, Palmiet, Mapleton and Zwartkopjes systems. As a result, areas within the City of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane may experience low water pressure or intermittent supply. The maintenance may also impact water provision to local municipalities of Rand West, Mogale City, Merafong, Madibeng, Lesedi, Govan Mbeki, Rustenburg, Royal Bafokeng Administration and Victor Khanye, Thembisile Hani, Midvaal and Emfuleni.
WHICH AREAS WILL BE IMPACTED IN EKURHULENI, JOHANNESBURG AND TSHWANE?
As mentioned-above, the potable supplier will conduct critical maintenance which will result in no water for a number of areas in the three metropolitan municipalities in Gauteng.
