Rand Water has warned customers in Johannesburg and surrounding areas of a water shutdown from Monday (15 November) to Wednesday (17 November).
The utility announced last week its planned shut down of its B11 and B19 pipelines from 15 to 17 November that is expected to last for 54 hours.
Rand Water said the water shutdown will not result in a total lack of water supply as water will be flowing into the system at reduced pressure and quantities.
The shutdown is the final leg of Rand Water’s B19 Pipeline Augmentation Project, which will increase water volumes, and result in more sustainable water supply to consumers.
Residents were urged to use water sparingly during the maintenance period.
