Midrand residents are informed to take note that we have a major outage that is affecting Vorna Valley, Halfway gardens and some few arrears due to a water pipe that has burst in the wetland in Le Roux road.
The JW team working onsite has tried to drill through the old line to insert a new pipe but have unfortunately not been successful. There was another intervention that was tried to drill through the wetland next to the old pipe but the team cannot get the drill through due to large rocks on site.
We have had to relay a new pipe around the wetland and are currently sourcing the required fittings today to connect and re-instate the service.
Water will be off in the affected area for at least another 18 hours, but we estimate that we should be completed with repairs late this afternoon.
Water tankers have been placed in the affected areas as an alternative water supply:
• Le Roux and Smite
• BP garage on Banker
We do apologise to all affected residents for the inconvenience caused and we are committed to provide sustainable water service to all residents in the City of Johannesburg.
