The affected areas include Laudium, Atteridgeville, Kosmosdal, Mnandi and Olievenhoutsbosch.
“We do, however, hope things become better because we do not want another situation like we had a few months ago, where most areas in the north and west did not have water for a week.”
“It is important to understand that Rand Water is a separate entity from the City of Tshwane and is a state-owned entity that is overseen by the National Department of Water and Sanitation. It does not fall under the City of Tshwane.” “For that reason, we will be urgently co-ordinating a strategy session to determine the best way to reduce water consumption across the affected areas,” Nel said.
“The current administration has made repair, maintenance and upgrading of the water and electricity networks a priority as years of neglect have left the system in a poor state.”
