REMINDER: Rand Water shutdown may cause reduced supply in Brakpan
Technicians will closely monitor water levels in the reservoirs and water tankers will be provided in the areas with no water supply.
The City of Ekurhuleni urges residents in the region to utilise water sparingly as water supply to customers is anticipated to be reduced from today (Monday) to Thursday (June 27).
This is as a result of Rand Water, which supplies the city with water, conducting valve installation work for the duration of the period on the main supply pipeline.
“Rand Water has notified the City of Ekurhuleni of the planned reduced water supply during the above-mentioned period and have assured us that they will keep their bulk supply reservoirs to a maximum capacity to minimise water supply interruptions,” said MMC for Water and Energy, Tiisetso Nketle.
“We do, however, anticipate low water pressure to no water in some areas for the duration of the Rand Water reduced water supply and low pressure over the next week while the system recovers.”

As such, residents and businesses, are cautioned to conserve water and implement immediate water saving measures to avoid complete depletion of supply.
Technicians will closely monitor water levels in the reservoirs and water tankers will be provided in the areas with no water supply.
Areas with direct feeds from Rand Water and those in high-lying areas may be affected adversely and will be among the areas that will be prioritised.
Brakpan residents in the following areas should anticipate water supply interruptions for the duration of the Rand Water supply reduction:
- Brenthurst
- Sallies Village
- Vulcania
- Dalpark Extensions One, Six, Nine and 11
- Helderwyk Estates
