Response to Eskom claims of Johannesburg Water providing incorrect information regarding Palmiet power failure

Johannesburg Water expected its Midrand and Sandton systems, which are supplied from the Palmiet Rand Water station, to recover considerably overnight on Monday, 4 November 2024. However, our systems did not recover as expected.

Palmiet station is Rand Water’s infrastructure and Johannesburg Water relies solely on feedback from Rand Water to appraise its customers, residents and stakeholders on all supply challenges.

Johannesburg Water is transparent in all water supply challenges and takes full responsibility for all its own system failures.
