Normal water pumping capacity from the Palmiet Booster Pumping Station into the O2 Pipeline will be reduced by 400Ml per day for the maintenance period.
The reduction of water supply into the O2 pipeline has the potential to impact several Rand Water reservoirs.
This situation will lead to lower water pressure or, in some cases, no water supply for the duration of the work.
The reservoirs affected during the maintenance period are:
• Germiston Reservoir (affecting some parts of the City of Ekurhuleni);
• Northridge Reservoir (affecting some parts of the City of Ekurhuleni);
• Airfield Reservoir (affecting some parts of the City of Ekurhuleni);
• Klipfontein Reservoir (affecting some parts of the Cities of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni).
