Rand Water began its 58-hour water infrastructure maintenance project on Tuesday evening - and it's scheduled to last until Friday morning.
JOHANNESBURG - Johannesburg Water on Thursday said it provided more than 200 water tanks and trucks to mitigate the shortage caused by the Rand Water shutdown.
It said the completed booster station took eight hours to repair and supply to all the areas affected there was normalising.But Zwartkoppies and Eikenhof were still being repaired and once the work is completed, it would still take five to 10 days for areas under those stations to receive normal supply.
Johannesburg Water said because the Daleside Booster Station was normalising, the water tankers provided to previously affected areas, such as Ennerdale, Grasmere, Drieziek and Orange Farm, were redeployed to other areas.
