Store water from Sunday. That’s advice given by Johannesburg Water to its customers to accommodate Rand Water’s planned 58-hour shutdown next week.

Rand Water said the planned maintenance will be undertaken to replace multiple valves at the Vereeniging water treatment plant, Eikenhof booster pumping station and Zuikerbosch water treatment plant. The last part of the project will be to work on electrical boards at Lethabo pumping station.

During the shutdown, Johannesburg Water infrastructure supplied by Eikenhof pump station will have no water supply as well as those areas receiving direct supply from Rand Water, Shabalala said. “Customers are requested not to store water on the day before the shutdown as some of Johannesburg Water’s reservoirs will already be isolated to retain capacity on the supply side. This is also for quicker recovery post the shutdown.”
