Rand Water back at full capacity after a power outage resulted in a 60% production loss at its Zuikerbosch treatment works
Embattled bulk water supplier Rand Water said on Monday supply had been restored to parts of North West and Gauteng after a power outage that resulted in a 60% production loss at its Zuikerbosch treatment works.
Rand Water said the power loss affected four of its major systems - Eikenhof, Mapleton, Zwartkopjes and Palmiet. The water utility had warned that the metros of Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, Johannesburg, and Mogale City, Rustenburg and West Rand local municipalities would be affected. However, the water supplier has been beset by operational challenges, system failures and demand outstripping supply, that resulted in water outages in parts of SA’s economic hub. In July an explosion at Rand Water’s Palmiet booster pumping station in Alberton left three metros without water.
