City Power outage impacts Johannesburg Water’s Witpoortjie pump station and tower

Johannesburg Water’s Witpoortjie pump station and tower have been affected by load shedding and a subsequent City Power outage on Friday, 4 August.

This has affected pumping as the area is now experiencing power failure. Johannesburg Water’s operations team is engaging City Power on the matter.

The Witpoortjie tower zone is currently empty. This has resulted in no water in parts of Witpoortjie, Groblerspark and parts of Princess.
There is no estimated time of recovery at this stage. Further updates will be provided to customers.

Johannesburg Water has arranged alternative water supply through roaming trucks and stationary tanks.
