Residents warned to prepare for December water supply cuts

A 48 HOUR water shutdown is scheduled for December 13 to 15 affecting large parts of Kempton Park, Thembisa and Germiston.

Residents in Kempton Park and several other parts of the City of Ekurhuleni are expected to experience water supply interruptions this month as Rand Water undertakes scheduled maintenance on its bulk supply infrastructure.

The shutdown is planned from Sunday, December 7, to Monday, December 15, and will affect different areas on different days, including Edenvale, Bedfordview, Germiston, Thembisa, Kempton Park, Benoni, Wattville, Springs, Brakpan, Kwa-Thema, Vosloorus, Eden Park, and Boksburg.

“The city will deploy water tankers to affected areas during the shutdown period,” said CoE spokesperson Zweli Dlamini.

“Residents, particularly those in higher-lying suburbs, are advised that it may take up to two weeks after the maintenance period for water pressure and supply to fully stabilise.”
