Residents in these areas may experience low water pressure or a complete loss of supply during the maintenance period.
Johannesburg Water has warned residents in parts of Region E and the inner city to prepare for planned water interruptions next week as it carries out essential maintenance.
Residents in Bryanston will be without water for eight hours on Tuesday, 2 September.
Johannesburg Water said the shutdown will affect Dover Road from 8am until 4pm.
According to the utility, the interruption is necessary to “tie-in [a] new water pipe to [the] existing mainline”.
Johannesburg Water confirmed the outage is unavoidable but said the long-term benefits will outweigh the inconvenience.
Residents in these areas may experience low water pressure or a complete loss of supply during the maintenance period.
Johannesburg Water stated that the repair work will enhance service delivery.
“The benefit to customers is improved service delivery and continuity of water supply,” the notice read.
