Rand WaterWater InterruptionsPlanned Maintenance

Rand Water warns of water interruptions from now until July - Here’s where Rand Water’s planned maintenance from 29 May to 17 July 2026 will affect water supply in four provinces. Residents across Gauteng and parts of the North West, Free State, and Mpumalanga have been warned to prepare for possible water supply interruptions as Rand Water begins major planned maintenance work between the maintenance period. According to Rand Water, some pumps will need to be temporarily shut down during the maintenance period, which could affect water supply to municipalities, industries, and direct customers. The utility also wants to reduce the risk of equipment failures and unplanned plant shutdowns that could lead to larger disruptions later on. Eskom-related electrical maintenance at the Zuikerbosch and Palmiet systems, replacement of critical valves and thrust bearings at Palmiet, Vereeniging, and Foresthill systems, and a 21-day notice to affected municipalities and customers to allow enough time for contingency planning are some of the key points in the news.
