It will take Rand Water nearly a week to fully restore water supply in Ekurhuleni and Tshwane, the utility said on Saturday.
“Rand Water’s Mapleton booster pumping station had a power failure that halted pumping at the station. Mapleton station is supplied with power by the City of Ekurhuleni. The City of Ekurhuleni and Eskom are on-site working towards ensuring power is restored at the station,” Rand Water said.
It is expected power will be restored at about 5pm on Saturday, but it will take five days to fully restore water supply, it added.
