Africa-Press – South-Africa. Parts of Ekurhuleni and Tshwane are experiencing water supply interruptions due to a pipe burst and planned maintenance.
Several parts of Ekurhuleni, including Duduza, Bluegum, Zamani and Masetjhaba, are having to rely on water tankers as the metro attends to a burst water pipe in Germiston.
Residents of Menlo Park, east of Pretoria, will be without water supply for almost eight hours from 8am to 4pm on Thursday.
The City of Tshwane announced it will undergo planned maintenance to install water meters in the area.
“Residents are advised to store enough water for household purposes during the period”, it said.
The City of Ekurhuleni was fixing the burst water pipe in Germiston, affecting supplies in areas east of the metro.
Residents have been urged to use two water tankers provided.
The municipality requested residents to attend to taps left open to avoid water wastage when supply is restored.
It is believed the burst pipe was damaged by a fibre installation contractor.
Repairs are expected to be completed later on Wednesday.
