Power maintenance to affect water operations
On the 19 February 2022 starting at 06:30 to 15:30 (9hours), City power will be undertaking urgent maintenance on the 1B transformer and on 05 March 2022 starting at 06:30 to 15:30 (9hours) on 2B transformer at the Rand Water Eikenhof pump station. The water supply from Eikenhof RW pumping station will be reduced by 33% and 40% respectively during this time.
As a result, water supply from the Rand Water Eikenhof pump station to the South of CBD, Northern and Western areas of Johannesburg will experience poor to no water supply during the peak water demand periods, and the most affected areas will be those in high laying and high demand areas.
Johannesburg Water will provide alternative supply in a form of stationary and roaming water tankers to reduce the impact to consumers.
