Immediate Release
CAUTION ON WATER QUALITY IN SCHOOLS TANKS AND PIPELINES
South Africa has been on lockdown for more than two months and water quality deteriorates over a period if not utilized frequently. It is in this spirit that Johannesburg Water would like to advise all School Management Teams across the City of Johannesburg to ensure the following:
- Water that is in the pipelines has been stagnant for more than two months and is not suitable for consumption without proper purging/flushing prior to use.
- Schools are advised to flush their taps for a minimum of 5 minutes to remove stagnant water and improve water reticulation and water quality.
- Schools that are using private water tanks need to refill the tanks with fresh water or treat water before being consumed.
- Johannesburg Water will clean and refill water tanks with fresh water to schools that are in our supply this coming weekend
Johannesburg Water conducts an average of 600 tests monthly to ensure the water quality we provide is in line with the South African National Standards (SANS 241), this is not meant to cause panic but should be done as a precautionary measure.
Residents are reminded that the City is still under level one water restrictions and we urge all to use water sparingly during this winter period, water and sewer problems can be logged using the bow channels:

Please note, customers in Riverside View and Cosmo City currently using pre-paid tags will not be able to buy water due to the system crashing down.
Our IT team is currently working on the new server which we expect to be concluded later today. We are organising water tanks for the affected consumers and will advise of locations shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience.
