Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A power trip at Rand Water’s Mapleton Booster Pumping Station in Germiston affected large parts of Ekurhuleni on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The municipality said there were water interruptions in Benoni, Brakpan, Nigel, Duduza and surrounding areas. Technicians were on-site to restore power supply and return the booster station to service.<\/p>\n

Many areas affected by the power outage experienced water interruptions this week because of the maintenance work at Rand Water.<\/p>\n

The Zwartkopjes system, which was in recovery after 24-hour maintenance, affected some parts of Benoni.<\/p>\n

After the outage on Thursday, the City said it would temporarily provide roving tankers to supply water to the affected areas.<\/p>\n

“Developments will be communicated through the City’s digital platforms,” it said.<\/p>\n

Rand Water’s spokesperson, Makenosi Maroo, said the entity was on track to restore water at 05:00 on Friday after a 58-hour outage.<\/p>\n
