Rand Water says it will be implementing flow control management at its reservoirs from 8pm on Friday until the system recovers, after increased water consumption in the parts it supplies.
The utility, which supplies water to Gauteng and other provinces, said it was taking this measure to stabilise and avoid the emptying of the reservoirs and a complete system crash.
It said intermittent water supply may be expected in many areas within the Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, Rand West, Mogale City and Rustenburg municipalities. Rand Water said since the beginning of spring, its bulk water provision to municipalities has increased from an average of 4,300-million litres a day to 4,900-million litres.“On average, water consumption in Gauteng per person per day is over 300 litres against a world's average of 173 litres per person per day.”
