Many Residents in the North of Joburg are set to experience a planned 33 hour water outage, here’s all the information we know so far.
Johannesburg Water announced on their website that from 15 August at 8am to 16 August at 5pm, there will be a planned water outage in 22 areas in the north of Joburg.
“We endeavor to give our customers an uninterrupted service they deserve. Despite our best intentions, there may be factors that require us to arrange planned interruptions to your water supply service to allow for regular maintenance of our water system or an upgrade of the ageing infrastructure.”
The outage comes as a result of Rand Water undertaking repairs and replacements to sections of the trunk main (F46 pipe line).
“The planned shutdown is envisaged for 33 hours. Customers living within the reservoir zone may be affected 6 hours after the commencement of the shutdown and customers living within the tower zone will be affected within 1 hour after the commencement of the shutdown.”
