A number of areas in Gauteng will have low pressure to no water on Saturday, 25 January due to planned maintenance by bulk potable supplier Rand Water.

The utility will repair a leak on its O2 pipeline over a 24-hour period.

RAND WATER TO CONDUCT 24-HOUR MAINTENANCE

The maintenance will affect Rand Water’s Palmiet System which supplies the Klipfontein, Brakfontein and Harteebeeshoek reservoirs in the City of Tshwane.

As part of planning, the municipality said where possible it will fill reservoirs prior to the commencement of the shutdown.

“However, the water supply may be interrupted during the repair period and residents are therefore urged to use water sparingly. Our technicians will also ensure that the city’s water resources are operating optimally during that period,” City of Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said.

The following areas may be affected:

  • Atteridgeville
  • Akasia
  • Amandasig
  • Ninapark
  • Erasmia
  • Sunderland Ridge
  • Olievenhoutbosch
  • Laudium
  • Lotus Gardens
  • Florauna
  • Hartbeesthoek
  • Heatherdale
  • Heatherview
  • Brakfontein
  • Celtisdal
  • Eldoraigne
  • Bronberrik
  • Clubview Ext 78,
  • Cranbrookvale
  • Christoburg
  • Ga-rankuwa units 4, 5,6,7,8 and 9
  • Soshanguve
  • Winterveldt
