Residents across several Soweto areas are being advised to store water ahead of planned maintenance that will affect supply from Friday evening through to the early hours of Sunday morning. Rand Water will conduct maintenance on its Eikenhof system, affecting water meters in various parts of Soweto. The work is scheduled to begin on 19 December at 18:00 and continue until 21 December at 00:00.
Johannesburg Water has urged residents to take precautionary measures. “Residents are encouraged to prepare and store water in advance.” The maintenance will affect supply from multiple reservoirs servicing different zones across Soweto. Alternative water supply arrangements have been put in place to assist residents during the disruption period.
The Chiawelo Reservoir serves several neighbourhoods that will experience interrupted supply. All of Chiawelo will be affected, along with a portion of Dlamini, as well as Protea South and Protea North. Meanwhile, the Power Park Reservoir supplies a broader area that will be affected.
