Sandton residents set to spend Friday, Saturday without water
Rand Water and Johannesburg Water have warned Sandton residents of a 20-hour maintenance project that will see taps running dry for almost a day.
The maintenance work was suspended last week due to rainfall, and will now resume this weekend.
The repairs are expected to start on Friday at 5 pm and is scheduled to last until Saturday at 1 pm.
Some of the reservoirs to be affected include Bryanston, Illovo, Morningside, Linbro Park and Marlboro.
Rand Water spokesperson Makenosi Maroo says the reason for the emergency repair is to urgently replace an isolating valve.
"Johannesburg Water commits to do everything within its powers to ensure that their reservoirs that are supplied from the Sandton meter are filled to maximum capacity before the maintenance to minimise supply interruptions.
"Customers in high-lying areas may experience low to no pressure during the maintenance period; alternative water supply will be provided should it be necessary."
