REMINDER: Winchester Hills and surrounds to be impacted by planned 39-hour Rand Water shutdown

Johannesburg Water customers are reminded of the planned Rand Water maintenance shutdown that will affect residents of Winchester Hills and surrounding areas.

The shutdown, which will last for 39 hours (one day and 15 hours) from 18:00 on 11 May until 09:00 on 13 May 2023, will result in no water supply to parts of the following areas: Winchester Hills, Gillview, Mondeor, Suiderood and Glenanda.

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.

Planned maintenance is necessary to ensure continuous future provision of water to our customers.

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

We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by the implementation of the maintenance project.
