Rand Water is set to conduct major maintenance work on the bulk water supplier’s infrastructure from 3 June to 21 July 2025, which will impact on some of Johannesburg Water’s systems.
The objective of the maintenance is to improve plant availability, reliability and efficiencies towards a flexible system at the bulk supplier’s Vereeniging, Zuikerbosch and Zwartkopjes systems. According to Rand Water, this is the ideal time of year to execute the upcoming planned maintenance work, as it is a low temperature period of May to July 2025 in preparation for the high-demand period, which usually starts from August to September 2025. Johannesburg residents were initially informed of the maintenance on Thursday, 22 May 2025. Additionally, the Entity will send regular reminders and updates leading up to and during the maintenance.
The maintenance will be conducted as follows:
Residents may experience poor pressure to no water during the maintenance period. Johannesburg Water will make arrangements for alternative water supply at strategic points within the residential areas. However, residents are encouraged to store water in preparation for the maintenance.
