Rand Water On Track To Finish Maintenance Work By This Evening

Johannesburg Water says they are on track to finish all the maintenance work at the Eikenhof pump station by this evening. Rand Water has been performing a 86-hour system maintenance leaving scores without water for over three days.

Affected areas includes parts of Randburg, Roodepoort, Soweto and Johannesburg Central.

The bulk water supply entity says they chose the off-peak season due to industries having closed and some people having gone on holiday.

Johannesburg Water Spokesperson, Nombuso Tshabalala, says some stations are already pumping water into reservoirs

"While Rand Water has completed maintenance at Zwaartkopies, Johannesburg Water is recovering and pumping has resumed. Rand Water has also confirmed that maintenance at its Eikenhof pump station is scheduled for completion this evening at 9 o' clock," says Tshabalala.
