OUR CITY NEWS: Joburg residents go 12 days without water after maintenance programme
Nearly two weeks after Rand Water’s maintenance programme, thousands of Johannesburg residents remain without reliable water, prompting growing frustration and calls for greater transparency from Johannesburg Water. Civil society group WaterCAN wants an urgent review of the delayed recovery process before another major maintenance shutdown scheduled for July.
Thousands of Johannesburg residents are enduring a prolonged water outage, now in its twelfth day, following a recent maintenance program by Rand Water. Several suburbs, including Coronationville, Westbury, and areas in Midrand and Hillbrow, are still experiencing severe disruptions, with many relying on inconsistent water tanker deliveries. Residents express deep frustration over the extended lack of service and the perceived lack of transparency from Johannesburg Water regarding the recovery process.
Civil society group WaterCAN is demanding an urgent review of the situation and a clear plan from Johannesburg Water. The group is concerned about the city's preparedness for future maintenance shutdowns, especially with another program scheduled for July.
The extended water outages highlight critical issues with the city's water infrastructure resilience and emergency response, impacting daily life and public health for a significant portion of the population.
