Residents advised to use water sparingly amid technical problems at rand water pump station
Media Release
Rand Water is experiencing electrical problems at the Palmiet Pumping Station, resulting in a critically low water supply level. The Klipriviersberg Reservoir was at below 20 percent of capacity on Sunday.
In this light, restrictions on the water network have been applied to alleviate pressure on the reduced capacity, and customers are urged to use water sparingly.
The areas that are mostly affected by low water pressure during peak hours include:
- Bedfordview
- Edenvale
- Germiston
- Tembisa
Customers who may experience no water are urged to notify the City through the call centre by calling 086 054 3000 or through social media platforms.
