The City of Tshwane has urged residents to use water sparingly and store enough due to the 53-hour planned shutdown by Rand Water which starts on Thursday, 11 August at 17:00. 

The maintenance will last until 22:00 on 13 August 2022 and is set to affect at least six municipalities that are supplied by Rand Water. 

RAND WATER PLANNED MAINTENANCE  

Rand Water which supplies Gauteng, Free State, Mpumalanga and parts of North West has scheduled the planned maintenance on its S4 Pipeline to tie in a new portion of the pipeline to the existing one.
