Joburg residents furious over extended water shortage | Citypress

Johannesburg Water’s social media team has been feeling the wrath of angry residents, who are frustrated that the updates from the water utility on planned maintenance are “useless” to them.

This makes me very sad. After a week of trying to manage relentless loadshedding, very hot days and no water supply, those of us in Joburg south still have no water and no estimation of when we can expect water supply - it's disheartening to say the least. Hard to feel positive.Metsi said: “When we ask questions on their [Johannesburg Water] Twitter account, they keep on ignoring us but [have] got time to update their Twitter page.

In a statement released ahead of the maintenance, it said, “during this period, water will be flowing into the system although this will be in reduced quantities and pressure”. Rand Water said that the work it did on the system resulted in reservoirs running low. Rand Water said:

Its tough 😪
