The problem started after Rand Water repaired a pipeline and now an Eskom substation has had a power failure.
To make matters worse, Eskom had a power failure at its Snowden High Voltage substation at the weekend which caused failure at the Rand Water Zuikerbosch Water Treatment Plant. This plant supplies water to Tshwane and five other municipalities in Gauteng.
"Our people are tired now and somebody just has to do the right thing somewhere. What then irritates us is people coming here wearing political regalia and playing politics and asking people to vote for them. City chief of staff Jordan Griffiths said fundamentally the issue was that Rand Water was unable to sustain the adequate pressure that was needed to supply water into our high-lying reservoirs since they repaired a pipeline supplying Tshwane but failed to restore the pressure to what it was.
