This comes after the taps ran dry at the Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital, the Helen Joseph Hospital , as well as the Pholosong Hospital on the East Rand.Gauteng Health Department spokesperson Motalatale Modiba said water supply at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital is still intermittent and the facility is relying on roving water tankers from Joburg Water and its borehole.
“The clinical areas continue to render services to patients. Helen Joseph Hospital currently has good water pressure. They are fed from an alternative line through the Brixton Tower. The situation improved over the weekend after the facility experienced challenges in the past week where water tankers had to be deployed.
“Pholosong Hospital in Ekurhuleni started receiving water from the municipal supply line this morning . However, the facility is not yet receiving full water pressure. The City of Ekurhuleni has since deployed roving water tankers to augment the supply from service providers directly contracted by the hospital,” Modiba said.
