Rand Water in Johannesburg and the City of Tshwane have issued an alert, warning residents of a 53-hour water outage due to planned maintenance – starting today!

The planned shutdown is to complete a tie-in of a newly installed S4 pipeline into the existing S4 pipeline in the region, the group said.

The maintenance will take place from Thursday, 11 August at 17:00 and will continue to Saturday, 13 August at 22:00.

“Residents are urged to use water sparingly during this time to prevent reservoirs from running dry. Please store sufficient water to sustain you for the duration of the shutdown, water tankers will be on standby as an alternative water supply,” it said.

Meanwhile, the City of Tshwane added: “The City of Tshwane sincerely apologises for the inconvenience that may occur as a result of the above-mentioned repairs. We appeal to all residents to use water sparingly during this time. Water tankers will be on standby for alternative water supply.”
