Rand Water is in Day 2 of the second phase of conducting critical maintenance to its key infrastructure. The bulk water supplier says this maintenance is crucial for ensuring consistent and efficient water supply in the long run.
It has put plans in place to ensure consumers are covered during this period. However, some businesses in Eastcliff, South of Johannesburg, have been left without water, and owners say no tankers have been dispatched to the area.
Business owners say they have had to travel to areas with water and fill buckets to keep their businesses operational.
The Eastcliff Medical Centre is among the businesses affected by Rand Waters planned maintenance on its pipeline.
Staffers at the centre say the lack of water is negatively impacting their work and the comfort of patients.
