Rand Water has urged municipalities to reduce their water consumption amid the utility 's maintenance period.
Rand Water announced on Monday that while it completed its first of three phases of the Palmiet pump station maintenance, some systems were still struggling.
“Most Johannesburg Water systems that were impacted, including direct feeds, have stabilised and are supplying normally,” said Rand Water on Tuesday.Alexander Park reservoir is one of the systems still suffering. Its system was shut down overnight on Monday in order to increase capacity.“Poor pressure is expected in high-lying areas of the supply zone,” the utility added.
The areas that fall under this reservoir include Kensington, Benrose, Heriotdale, Denver, De Wetshof, The Gardens, Malvern, Cleveland, Elcedes and Wychwood.
