Massive 58-hour water outage hitting parts of Joburg next week – all areas affected
Rand Water says there will be a 58-hour planned shutdown in Johannesburg next week, affecting over 100 areas.
Rand Water said that the shutdown will allow it to tie the A19 and B14 lines with a new pipeline and install isolation valves and apply system upgrades at the Eikenhof pump station.
The shutdown will start at 07h00 on Tuesday, 20 June and end at 15h00 on Thursday, 22 June.
It said that the following reservoirs will be affected:
- Waterval 1& 2
- Weltevreden
- Roodepoort
- Meredale 1&2
As part of the shutdown, Johannesburg water infrastructure supplied by the pump will be affected by no supply.
Areas receiving water directly from rand water will also be affected by the shutdown.
In addition, Rand Water said that it would take roughly five days or more for the normal water supply to be restored.
However, hospitals, clinics, schools, police stations, shopping centres and municipal offices will receive alternative water supply.
The following 138 areas across the City of Johannesburg will be affected by the outage:
