Daily water supply system status updates: Wednesday, 02 June 2021 (Morning)

Water supply status update by exception (i.e. areas affected due to supply constraint and not service interruption from occasional pipe burst).
 
Unplanned interruptions
 
1. Hursthill Water Supply Challenges
 
In the past weeks, both Rand Wat​er and Johannesburg Water’s technical teams have been on the ground investigating with a view of finding other options to optimise the integrated supply systems. This joint effort resulted in adjustments being made to the distribution system but unfortunately, before any gains could be realised, the Eikenhof pump station experienced power failures which further affected the system. Electricity supply has since been restored.
 
Both entities are currently looking at short to medium term interventions in order to address the current challenges.  It must be noted that Rand Water and Johannesburg Water have already formulated long-term solutions to this issue. Whilst Rand Water is finalising the construction of Station 5A, Johannesburg Water is finalising the designs of their booster station to the Hursthill Reservoir. Once these projects are completed, there will be enough supply to the high lying areas of Hursthill.  
 
The entities remain committed to resolving these challenges. It is in this context that both institutions are currently supplying water using water tankers to the most affected, especially health facilities in the area - Rahima Moosa and Helen Joseph Hospitals.
