"This morning (Saturday), Rand Water informed the City of Tshwane about the challenge they experienced last night at their Zuickerbosch Water Purification Plant (an isolated incident of filters clogging), which affected the operations.”


The incident affected the Soshanguve L Reservoirs which ran empty overnight, leaving the Soshanguve areas without water.


Tshwane spokesperson Selby Bokaba says Rand Water has informed the city that the challenge has since been resolved and the system is recovering.


"Rand Water and the city’s technical teams are monitoring the system, however, the system will take some time to recover and stabilise. Water tankers have been dispatched to the affected areas."
