Johannesburg Water customers to be affected by Rand Water planned shutdown

Johannesburg Water customers will be impacted by a planned Rand Water shutdown to take place from Tuesday, 20 June 2023 from 19:00 to Thursday, 22 June 2023 at 15:00.

The purpose of the planned shutdown is to complete a tie-in between the A19 and B14 with a new pipeline, installation of isolation valves, and systems upgrades at Rand Water’s Eikenhof pump station.

The following Rand Water reservoirs will be affected:
1. Waterval 1 and 2
2. Weltevreden
3. Roodepoort
4. Meredale 1 and 2
During the Rand Water shutdown, Johannesburg Water infrastructure supplied by the pump station will be affected by no water supply. It is estimated that full recovery of the systems may take approximately five days or longer after supply has been fully restored.

All areas receiving direct water supply from Rand Water will also be impacted by the shutdown.

Johannesburg Water will make arrangements for alternative water supply at strategic areas like hospitals, clinics, schools, municipal offices, police stations and shopping centres.

Residents will receive regular updates on the official Johannesburg Water social media platforms.
