Rand Water’s bulk water network remains stable

Rand Water is closely monitoring possible impacts that may occur as a consequence of electricity load shedding.

According to Justice Mohale, spokesperson for Rand Water, certain municipalities within its area of supply have experienced electricity infrastructure failures which have posed no risk to its network.

“In the event that load shedding levels are elevated and/or prolonged, Rand Water will timeously communicate the impact thereof. We have noted that some municipalities have already advised consumers to reduce their consumption of water in this respect, and the advice is duly reiterated.

“Currently our bulk water network that supplies all our customers remains stable and we are managing demand as normal. Despite our ability to supply, Rand Water urges all residents to be water wise in their use of water,” said Mohale.
