Water may be restored soon.
This is according to Godfrey Maumela, the executive manager of Bulk Water Dispatch at Rand Water.
“Over and above the problems we had, we had another power failure on Monday morning.
“This has derailed the progress of restoring water.
“With the power being restored, the pumps have started pumping water to the reservoirs.
“But because we are trying to fill the reservoirs from empty, it will take some time to fill them,” he said.
Maumela urged the community to save water.
“As we are still dealing with this crisis situation, we urge those who have water to use it sparingly,” he said.

We received an SMS on tuesday that it will be restored late afternoon…it’s now thursday!! We don’t know what to believe anymore
I will believe it when I see it. the management of our resources are pathetic.
the rest of the world must be laughing at us
This is madness, this makes you think if this country is even going to go forward. It has gone a hundred years back in time. How can we use water sparingly, when we have to go to another town to bath!!! They full of empty promises, I am yet to see a message from someone that there water has been restored.
Use water sparingly what a joke we have not seen water since saturday in Fishers Hill- This country has gone so far back its beyond a joke. Then the sms sent on tuesday from Ekurhuleni saying water will be restored they now have no knowledge thereof. Bunch of idiots
Open your taps to let airlocks out. There is pressure and bits of water dripping out but very dirty. From the top part of Symhurst Primrose.
Very thin stream of water coming out of one cold water tap. We live in a flat so the pressure is minimum. Grounded ppl should have more water pressure. Go open your taps to let air out :)
