On Thursday 10 March 2022 Rand Water Suikerbosch purification plant tripped, this negatively impacted on their Palmiet pumping system that feeds their Meyers Hill Reservoir, which supplies the Johannesburg Water South Hills tower. It was reported that pumps were back to their normal operation in the afternoon of the 10th. Rand Water reported on Friday 11 March at 6h30 AM that the plant tripped again which negatively affected their Palmiet pumping system that feeds their Klipriviersberg and Meyers Hill Reservoirs.
