Update: Ongoing repairs in Ferndale
Repairs continue on a burst 600mm steel pipe at corner Republic Road and Malibongwe Drive.
The team is experiencing challenges due to the massive volume of water that is still coming out of the pipelines, even though the incoming supply has been closed. It is not possible to begin repairs until the water in the pipelines has drained completely.
This morning, the team will investigate the cause of this by walking the line and manually shutting off any valves that could potentially be supplying the water.
Affected areas: parts of Winsor, Ferndale, Strijdom Park, Kensington B, parts of Randburg, parts of Bryanston, Moret, parts of Blairgowrie, and Bordeaux.
There is currently no estimated time for completion. Further details will be provided as they become available.
Johannesburg Water will continue to provide alternative water supply.
