Winchester Hills and surrounding areas to be impacted by 39-hour Rand Water shutdown in May

There is a planned Rand Water shutdown that will affect Johannesburg Water customers in Winchester Hills and surrounding areas.

The shutdown will last for 39 hours from 18:00 on 11 May until 09:00 on 13 May 2023.

The purpose of the shutdown is to complete a tie-in of the newly replaced section of the G20 pipeline to the existing G20 pipeline.

This will result in no water supply to parts of the following areas: Winchester Hills, Gillview, Mondeor, Suiderood and Glenanda.

Alternate water supply is being arranged for the affected areas. Further updates will be provided to residents.
