Metro claims more water tankers will be available in affected areas
Metro to dispatch more water tankers to areas affected by water shortage.
The metro claims they will ensure that roving water tankers are dispatched to all areas experiencing water shortages in various parts of the region.
This week marks another period where areas are experiencing water interruptions due to erratic supply.
While areas such as Benoni, parts of Germiston and Tsakane have begun receiving water, Bedfordview, Primrose and Sunnyridge remain without a supply.
The water tankers will be available between 7am and 8pm, until the water supply has been restored to normal.
“As Rand Water and metro engineers are continuously working around the clock to bring the situation back to normal, we wish to emphasise our call to residents to assist the process by using the little available water sparingly,” said metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
“The municipality again wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
Ag no really, we live in Gerdview and havent had water since last week saturday. We are so tired Of hearing about the fact that they are helping us out with water tankers and that we must use the little bit of water supplied sparingly. What we would like to know is WHY we dont have water, seeing as there are about 6 different stories, and WHEN will the situation be resolved?!!! GATVOL!!!! Only 2% of the affected left without water they say. I do not believe that for a second.
PATHETIC ************
A WEEK. REALLY. CANT EVEN HAVE A CRAP WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT FLUSHING. THEY SHOULD OFFER WATER OUT OF THERE TAPS FROM THERE HOUSES THEN SEE HOW FAST THE PROBLEM GETS SOLVED
Let the public servant bring you the water, we pay them and they are merely servants, without our money they are unemployed. Where do the government get these useless employees?
