Johannesburg Water notes improvement on Eikenhof system
With a little over 24 hours since power was restored at the Eikenhof pump station, Johannesburg Water has seen an improvement in the functioning of the system. However, the Entity notes that it will take over 72 hours for the systems to normalise.
The Eagle’s Nest and Aeroton systems in the south of Johannesburg have been stabilised. However, Crown Gardens is recovering at a slower rate but performing better than Monday.
Pumping has started in the Roodepoort areas and technicians are working towards stabilising the system, which will be monitored throughout the day. The Commando, Forest Hill and Parktown 2 systems are recovering at a slow pace but surely improving.
Johannesburg Water continues to provide alternative water supply throughout the City, with an additional four mobile tankers stationed across the City, bringing the total to 27. Alternative water supply has been rolled out in the Linden and Blairgowrie supply zones, while the Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Mother and Child hospitals have adequate supply with 24/7 monitoring of their systems.
Johannesburg Water again urges customers to be patient as the Entity works tirelessly to restore a steady supply of water in the City. We urge residents to report any form of vandalism and theft of water infrastructure to 0800 00 25 87.
