Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Water will begin flowing to the Eikenhof Booster Station on Thursday evening, ahead of the Friday 05:00 deadline.<\/p>\n

Eikenhof takes water from Rand Water and distributes it to greater Randburg areas – Roodepoort to the west, Soweto, the south of Johannesburg, and Lenasia in the south.<\/p>\n

Many of these areas are experiencing low water pressure or no water at all after the 58-hour planned outage to increase the bulk water supplier’s capacity.<\/p>\n

Rand Water announced on Thursday that, as of 17:00, the first 600 mega litre\/day of the 1 200 ml\/d capacity had started filling reservoirs and water towers ahead of schedule. The remaining 600ml\/d will be added at 05:00 on Friday.<\/p>\n

The bulk water supplier announced it was almost finished with the maintenance work, which started on Tuesday at 19:00.<\/p>\n

By Thursday evening, the entity had completed work at Zwartkopjes pumping station, Vereeniging and Zuikerbosch Water Treatment Plants.<\/p>\n

Rand Water reminded customers that because some reservoirs had run empty, high-lying areas could take several days to recover fully.<\/p>\n

Areas in the Johannesburg South and CBD, supplied by Zwartkopjes Booster Station, will have full water capacity by Monday.<\/p>\n

Areas supplied by the Eikenhof Booster Station will be fully recovered by 24 July.<\/p>\n
