Many Germiston suburbs\u00a0are still\u00a0without water\u00a0after a Rand Water supply line pipe burst yesterday morning (Saturday).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe areas supplied by this line\u00a0include Sunnyridge, Sunnyrock, Solheim, Fishers\u2019 Hill, Dawnview, Symhurst, Wanneburg, Gerdview, Homestead, Rustavia, Elandsfotein, Klopperpark and parts of Primrose,\u201d said Ward 36 councillor Wendy Morgan.<\/p>

Despite the efforts by Rand Water technicians to repair the pipe and restore water to the effected areas, water has still not been restored.<\/p>\n

In a statement Rand Water said, “Following proper inspection and assessment of the situation we have regrettably found that the damage to the pipe is more extensive than was initially reported.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

“The latest estimated completion tome for repairs is tomorrow afternoon (Monday).<\/p>\n

Together with Johannesburg Water and the City of Ekurhuleni we are making provision for water tankers,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoving water tankers\u00a0can be found at the Sunnyridge circle, but due to the small number of tankers available they will have to go and refill regularly,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n

Morgan further pleaded with residents who’s water has returned to still use water sparingly.<\/p>\n

“Using water as you normally would will drain the reservoir and prevent it filling,” said Morgan.<\/p>\n

She further informed the community not to panic if they see water pouring from fire hydrants in the area.<\/p>\n

“If you see water coming from local fire hydrants do not panic this has been done to relieve pressure on the system and get rid of airlocks,” Morgan said.<\/p>\n
