Rand Water, our bulk water supplier, had a power failure affecting both their purification plants yesterday morning. The issue was resolved and Rand Water managed to recover most of their systems without any interruption. However, their Forest Hill reservoirs were running at critical low levels last night negatively impacting our Forest Hill Tower.
Water supply is interrupted in the following areas:
Bellavista Estate

Foresthill

We are monitoring the situation and awaiting the Forest Hill reservoir levels to improve from Rand Water to enable us to pump. We have started with arrangements for alternative water supply if the situation does not improve soon.
