JOHANNESBURG - The City of Ekurhuleni is the latest municipality in Gauteng to experience water disruptions due to the crippling effect of power cuts on one of its pump stations.
The municipality stated that the Mapleton pump station was affected on Wednesday night, leaving residents in Brakpan, Tsakane, Daveyton and Etwatwa without water.“This power failure is affecting the pumping capacity and is resulting in low pressure and no water to the supply areas. Our energy department is working hard to isolate this power supply to the pump stations and that will assist the water supply system to recover and the reservoirs to fill up,” she said.
