REMINDER: Johannesburg Water systems to be impacted by Rand Water maintenance in June, July 2024

During June and July 2024, bulk supplier Rand Water will be conducting extensive maintenance on their infrastructure from 22 June to 29 July 2024.

This will impact some of its customer’s systems, including Johannesburg Water and other municipalities and industries. This kind of preventative maintenance is imperative to make Rand Water’s systems more efficient and reliable for their customers, such as Johannesburg Water.

The maintenance work will affect Johannesburg Water’s systems that are supplied by the Palmiet and Eikenhof pump stations, as well as the Daleside Booster Station. During this time, Johannesburg Water customers will be impacted by low pressure to no water supply. It is estimated that full recovery of the systems may take approximately five days or longer after the supply has been fully restored.

Johannesburg Water will make arrangements for alternative water supply at strategic areas like hospitals, clinics, schools, municipal offices, police stations and shopping centres. However, residents are encouraged to store water in preparation for the maintenance.

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