Rand Water our bulk water supplier will be working on their raw water pipe that supplies their Vereeniging water purification plant, as a result the purification plant will not be operational on 15 November 2021 from 5am for a period of 54 hours. This will unfortunately impact on water supply from the Rand Water Eikenhof pump station to the South of Johannesburg, Northern and Western areas as supply will be reduced by 25%.Water supply from the Rand Water Zwartkoppies system to the central CBD will be also reduced by 50%.
Residents of the City of Johannesburg are asked to please note that this is not a complete shutdown but a supply reduction.
Water supply reduction will result in poor to no water supply during peak water demand periods in most high laying and high demand areas. Stationary and roaming water tankers will be made available where feasible to reduce the impact to consumers.
