The metro has announced that Rand Water will conduct planned maintenance activity on the Rosslyn North water meter to enhance efficiency and reliability in its water supply network.

The maintenance is scheduled to take place from Thursday, October 23, to Friday, October 24 and is expected to last 24 hours, starting from 06:00.

According to the metro, the project involves replacing the existing water meter to ensure improved monitoring accuracy and prevent future disruptions.

The maintenance forms part of ongoing efforts by the metro and Rand Water to strengthen the metro’s water infrastructure and promote a more sustainable and stable water supply.

Affected areas include Rosslyn extensions 1, 2, 11, 32, 33, 44, 45, 46 and 47, as well as major business facilities such as BMW and SA Breweries.

However, the metro cautioned that the upgrade might affect other nearby areas not specifically mentioned.

“The City of Tshwane sincerely apologises for any inconvenience that may be experienced during this period.

“We appeal to all residents to use water sparingly and assist in conserving this vital resource,” said metro spokesperson Lindela Mashigo.

He further reminded residents that, in line with council regulations, the metro cannot be held responsible for any damage to household appliances resulting from planned or unplanned service interruptions.

Residents are urged to avoid watering gardens, washing cars, or cleaning driveways with hose pipes during the maintenance period.

The metro also advised against filling swimming pools and encouraged households to flush toilets only when necessary.
