In an on-going effort to keep residents up-to-date regarding the water problem plaguing parts of Germiston, the GCN has established that the problem is being caused by an leak at the Primrose Reservoir.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe priority at this stage is ensuring that residents have a stable water supply, hence efforts have been focused on implementing an interim solution by way of by-passing the supply from that reservoir,\u201d explained Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro.<\/p>
The metro said that all areas should have a stable water supply by tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cWork to by-pass the reservoir was completed yesterday and supply has been restored,” said Gadebe.<\/p>
\u201cAll areas should have water, although the pressure is still low.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is expected to normalise by tomorrow morning, due to the current high demand.”<\/p>\n
Once again residents who have no water are requested to report the complaint to the metro\u2019s call taking centre.<\/p>\n
\u201cCustomers should have water at this stage, so any outage should be reported,” Gadebe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cResidents are also encouraged to report water leaks, as these will also have an impact on water supply; teams are currently attending to two leaks reported in Lambton.\u201d<\/p>\n
The metro insists that Germiston is not experiencing a water crisis similar to that of last year.<\/p>\n
Roving water tankers were and continue to be supplied to areas where it is reported that there is no water.<\/p>\n
These areas include Elsburg and Albemarle.<\/p>\n
The water tankers are allegedly stationed at old age homes and schools in the areas.<\/p>\n
The GCN will continue to monitor Germiston\u2019s water issues.<\/p>\n
