Residents are encouraged to visit the city’s digital platforms for updates related to the water situation.
The City of Ekurhuleni’s technicians have noted a strain in the water supply system due to high water demand.
According to CoE spokesperson Zweli Dlamini, to mitigate the impact that the high water demand might have on the system, technicians are implementing various technical interventions to maintain the balance of the city’s water supply system to manage the demand in the communities.

He said these interventions included pressure management on the water reticulation network and the curtailment of water supply during certain hours of the day.
As a result of the current strain, communities may experience low water pressure to no water especially those who are in high laying areas.
“However, the city will ensure that there is non-stop water supply, and where the taps have run dry, water tankers will be provided to those areas,” said Dlamini.
