On February 20 there will not be a drop of water and the entire city will be affected as the main reservoir (Point D) will then be cleaned.
The Department of Water Affairs appointed Rand Water as an implementation agent for the Upgrade of Key Bulk Water Infrastructure Programme at Emalahleni Local Municipality and Isiphethu Water Services as a consulting engineer.
Part of the scope of works is to clean reservoirs in order to improve the water quality; hence it is necessary that a planned water shutdown is carried out in order to perform this activity. It is anticipated that the planned shutdown for each reservoir will last 24 hours.
