Tsakani – Residents warned of water outages in parts of the metro.
The metro said in a statement issued on Thursday morning that its water supply has been affected in parts of Ekurhuleni due to the recurring power outages.
“The latest incident which affected Rand Water’s Mapleton pump station occurred last night at 22:19.
“Eskom managed to restore the power in the early hours of this morning and pumping has resumed.
“Unfortunately, because the system was already strained by the Rand Water restrictions it will take longer for the city’s reservoirs to fully recover.”
Affected areas include Tsakani, Brakpan, Daveyton and Etwatwa.
Residents are encouraged to report all water-related challenges to the metro’s call centre at 0860 543 000.
