Rand Water recently announced the successful completion of the J10 pipeline leak repair, finalised on schedule on Friday, 6 December 2024. Following this achievement, the organisation will begin its next planned infrastructure maintenance project on Friday,13 December. The maintenance project is designed to enhance system availability, reliability, and efficiency.
The maintenance work is typically scheduled during periods of low demand. December is particularly suitable for such work due to the closure of industries and by extension, the temporary depopulation of Gauteng province as residents travel for holidays. This timing also allows for quicker system recovery once the maintenance is completed. In accordance with its commitment to transparency and operational excellence, Rand Water has issued a 21-days notice to all affected municipal customers and industries. This notice is intended to provide the municipalities adequate time to implement contingency measures to minimise possible disruptions to consumers.
Table 1 below summarises the scheduled maintenance activities and the systems to be affected:
As Rand Water, we would like to thank our customers and residents for their understanding during this critical maintenance period. The organisation will provide updates through various communications channels to keep all stakeholders informed.
