With only a few hours left of the 58-hour planned infrastructure maintenance, many areas in Johannesburg are experiencing the anticipated disruptions to their water supply. "Blocking off the entity's water trucks only amplifies the already existing water shortages and causes delays in providing water to community members," Joburg Water stated.
The entity said it had redeployed water tankers to critical areas from the Daleside system, which has recovered. Maintenance at the Zwartkopjes Booster Pump Station, which supplies Johannesburg south and the CBD, has been completed. Once Rand Water has recovered its supply to the area, the Johannesburg Water infrastructure to these parts will start recovering.Only a few more hours until water is restored, but it may take two weeks for system to recover
