Residents of Westbury and Coronationville, west of Johannesburg, will have to wait at least four months before they can expect a reliable water supply.
This is according to Johannesburg Water engineer Randhir Nico Singh, who addressed the crowd at Westbury yesterday after a protest about the erratic water supply.
The area has been struggling to get reliable water supply for the past four years due to problems at the Hurst Hill 1 reservoir, which worsened recently, leaving the area dry for two weeks.
