As Joburg faces a water crisis exacerbated by infrastructure issues, WaterCAN calls for transparent communication.
WaterCAN has raised concerns over Rand Water’s planned repair at the Eikenhof and Zwartkopjes pump stations, which is set for 13 – 16 December 2024 amid the water crisis in Johannesburg.
Dr Ferrial Adam, Executive Manager of WaterCAN said the company acknowledges the importance of maintenance, yet they condemn the authorities’ poorly timed decision to initiate the shutdown, which will inevitably cause disruption. Both municipal and national water organisations have presented their turnaround plans throughout the last month, highlighting the necessity of service delivery and infrastructure upgrades.
