Rand Water and Johannesburg Water have issued a joint press release urging citizens to use water sparingly as demand exceeds supply. "Rand Water is unable to maintain its reservoirs at high water levels because of high consumption by consumers and citizens in the Metro and surrounding areas. As a result, reservoir levels remain at their lowest due to high consumption by consumers ... High potable water consumption may result to the collapse of the system, which will result intermittent water supply," the statement read. This comes after citizens were urged to stockpile water in July 2023 after Rand Water interrupted water supply services in order to install isolation valves and upgrade systems at its Eikenhof pump station.
