Africa-Press – South-Africa. Residents of Johannesburg can relax for now, knowing that their taps won’t run dry this week after Rand Water postponed planned maintenance that was going to result in a two-day water outage.
Johannesburg Water had on Thursday warned that some customers would have low pressure to no water from 19:00 on Tuesday, 20 June, until 15:00 on Thursday, 22 June.
The interruption was going to be because of a planned drop-test to measure the potential leakage rate of the water infrastructure, as well as a tie-in between the A19 and B14 pipelines with a new pipeline, installation of isolation valves, and systems upgrades at Rand Water’s Eikenhof pump station.
Waterval 1 and 2, Weltevreden, Roodepoort and Meredale 1 and 2 are the reservoirs that were to be affected.
