This week has been a difficult one for numerous Johannesburg residents after their taps went dry on Monday evening following a power outage at Eikenhof substation. This resulted in Rand Water not pumping water, and no alternative supply was available. By Tuesday, City Power said it had completed repairs and provided 100% power to Rand Water. However, the systems are continuing to recover; the complete recovery was projected to take at least a few days to a week. Some suburbs are still experiencing little to no water from their taps.
