Parts of Johannesburg are still without water after a 58-hour maintenance outage.
It says more tankers have been deployed to affected areas.
"When it comes to those areas that still have no water, we do anticipate that the five to 14 days will be the ones that we'll be working towards recovering those systems," said Johannesburg Water's Gugulethu Quma. "Those systems are very difficult to recover because they are also dependent directly on Rand Water recovery so while we are trying to recover them, Rand Water's systems are still very low because this was a major shutdown as well."It's a knock-on effect from Rand Water to Johannesburg Water and we need continuously alternate water.
