Johannesburg is experiencing an 86-hour water outage due to a maintenance project by Rand Water. The Eikenhof pump station’s supply will be reduced, affecting areas like Randburg, Roodepoort, and Soweto. Additionally, the Zwartkopjes system will face reduced pumping, impacting areas such as Berea and Parktown. These maintenance efforts aim to improve water supply reliability. However, Johannesburg struggles with a high non-revenue water (NRW) rate of 45%, contributing to a broader water crisis in the city. The municipality also faces over R27 billion in infrastructure backlog.
