Residents across Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane are set to face water supply disruptions from Thursday as Rand Water undertakes critical infrastructure maintenance.
The maintenance projects, lasting four days until June 2, will affect large parts of Gauteng and extend into parts of the Free State, Mpumalanga and the North West.
Rand Water, the bulk water supplier, said the annual maintenance is vital to ensure long-term water supply stability, specially ahead of the high-demand festive season.
The utility’s COO confirmed the Mapleton system will be completely shut down for 107 hours, cutting water supply to major metros during the period.
