Johannesburg Water says bulk water supplier Rand Water has implemented a 30-hour emergency shutdown due to a major burst on the A6 pipeline.

Rand Water announced on Friday, 4 November an emergency shutdown due to a major burst on the A6 Pipeline which supplies water from Vereeniging purification works to Zwartkopjes pump station.

Joburg Water said in a media statement that the water shutdown would be in effect from 18:00 on Friday and last for about 30 hours.

That suggests water should be restored around midnight on Saturday.

According to BusinessTech, while Rand Water and Johannesburg Water infrastructure – including towers and reservoirs – will have maximum capacity during the shutdown, several reservoirs, towers and direct feeds will be affected – should the water level drop to critical levels.
