VARIOUS suburbs in Kempton Park were left without water yesterday afternoon due to a problem with the supply to the Isando Reservoir.
Areas affected included Isando, Kempton Park CBD, Spartan, Glen Marais, Pomona, Bredell, Aston Manor, Rhodesfield and Croydon.
This followed ongoing water interruptions in different areas of Ekurhuleni the past week.
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, together with Rand Water and the City of Joburg, hosted an urgent media briefing with regards to the current water shortages on Monday afternoon.
Afterwards the metro assured residents of Germiston and Bedfordview that it was aware of the current water supply interruption in these areas.
The metro is closely monitoring developments that are being implemented by Rand Water to remedy the situation.
Affected areas included parts of Bedfordview, Primrose, Marlands, SunnyRidge, Solheim, Synhurst, Gerdview, Fishershill, Homestead as well as a small part of Witfield, Dawnview, Simmerfield and Wychwood.
The municipality has deployed water tankers to schools, hospitals, old age homes and shopping centres in the area.
Residents were again urged to use water sparingly.
