Johannesburg residents have been urged to prepare for possible low water pressure and temporary outages as Rand Waters planned maintenance begins on Saturday.
Johannesburg Water briefed the media at its Langlaagte depot on Friday, outlining its state of readiness for the shutdown and announcing the launch of a new water tanker fleet that will support communities during the disruptions.
Rand Water will carry out maintenance on its bulk infrastructure in three phases: December 13 to 15, December 19 to 21 and January 6 to 8. The process is aimed at improving long-term reliability of the system but the work will restrict the flow of bulk supply into Johannesburg Waters network over the next four weeks.
