Water-shedding in Gauteng halted due to good weather: Rand Water has lifted water restrictions in Gauteng, the department of water and sanitation has told parliament.
“Due to the recent rains and good weather conditions, the system has stabilised to above 60% and ... Rand Water has lifted the restrictions and many areas in Gauteng are receiving water,” said deputy minister of water and sanitation David Mahlobo.
“We had challenges that affected Rand Water and all the municipalities in Gauteng because the high-lying areas could not use gravitational force to pump water up to them. “We are going to be building 600 megalitres per day of capacity to treat water in the last quarter of 2023. Currently, Rand Water is abstracting about 4,400 megalitres per day and exceeding the allocation by 1,600 megalitres.”
