Rand Water’s ongoing maintenance activities will affect the City of Johannesburg from tomorrow morning.

The maintenance work which began on Thursday last week in the Cities of Ekurhuleni and Tshwane and now Johannesburg, will continue until July.

They will also affect other municipalities neighbouring Gauteng.


Johannesburg Water spokesperson Nombuso Shabalala says they will provide alternative water supply to the affected areas.

Shabalala adds that the maintenance at the Palmiet system will be conducted at 6 am until 4 pm.

“For 10 hours pumping will be reduced to 67% and this will result in poor pressure to no water for residents. The following Johannesburg systems will be affected; Sandton systems, Midrand systems, the Alexandra Park Reservoir, South Hills Tower, Linksfield reservoir and the Randjieslaagte Reservoir,” says Shabalala.
