While many areas in Johannesburg will be affected by the 58-hour water shutdown, residents in higher-lying areas will experience the outage for a longer period as the network gradually recovers.
The planned shutdown will affect more than 220 suburbs and is scheduled to start at 7pm on Tuesday until 5am on Friday.
The purpose of the shutdown is to replace or upgrade old critical infrastructure and reduce unplanned infrastructure breakdowns. Johannesburg Water said Rand Water will conduct planned work at the Vereeniging water treatment plant, Eikenhof booster pumping station, Zuikerbosch water treatment plant and Zwartkopjes system.“Customers in higher lying areas will experience the outage for a longer period as the network gradually recovers,” said Johannesburg Water.
“Planned work starting from 7pm will result in reduced supply to the Rand Water Daleside booster station. Water supply will be reduced by 50% for a period of eight hours. It is estimated once the work is completed, full recovery of water supply will take an additional 24 hours.”
