Johannesburg Water stands by its notice to residents

Johannesburg Water stands by its notice of possible water supply challenges that were
anticipated over the weekend.

Rand Water, our bulk supplier, notified the Entity that they urgently needed to repair a leak on
A6 pipeline wherein they will also take the opportunity to replace damaged valves in
Zwartkopjes. The notification stated that the Rand Water’s Vereeniging Pumping Station was
to reduce its pumping load by 100ML to the Zwartkopjes system, Zwartkopjes was going to
pump 660Ml/d instead of 760Ml/d.

Johannesburg Water’s interest is solely to ensure that we provide a reasonable uninterrupted
service to you, our clients, and where there are planned interruptions inform you in time as
per our service level agreement. We wish to clarify that at no point was the Entity malicious or
misinformed its customers.
