Midrand customers affected by low supply from Rand Water
Johannesburg Water customers in the Blue Hills and Sun Valley areas in Midrand are affected by no water supply due to low supply from Rand Water.
This is because the bulk water supplier is still struggling to recover after multiple power failures. According to Rand Water, balancing of the systems is still being done and as a result, there will be challenges of inconsistent supply.
One of the systems affected is Rand Water’s Brakfontein reservoir, which feeds a City of Tshwane reservoir that supplies Johannesburg Water’s Blue Hills and Sun Valley areas in Midrand. At the moment, there is no water coming into Blue Hills and Sun Valley from Tshwane because the City is not getting enough supply from Rand Water.
As Rand Water recovers its systems, some of the areas within municipalities are therefore likely to experience low water pressure to no water during the recovery of the system.
Johannesburg Water is providing alternative water supply. Water tankers have been placed at the following locations:
1. Summit Road (next to Spar SaveMor)
2. Blue Hills Shopping Centre
3. Blue Hills Ext 15 & 32 complexes
4. Summit View Estate, opposite the Blue Hills Shopping Centre
There is currently no estimated time for recovery. Further details will be provided as they become available.
