Johannesburg Water had notified that all streets in the listed areas would be affected.
JOHANNESBURG WATER NEEDED TO DO MAINTENANCE WORK
Maintenance work required on the bulk pipeline to ensure water supply, was the reason for the planned outage. Water tankers were promised if the shutdown exceeds 24 hours.

JOBURG BUS FACES LIMITATIONS DUE TO FLEET SHORTAGE
Meanwhile, Rea Vaya Bus transit has cautioned commuters about the shortage of its fleets.
This is due to repairs and maintenance to minimise breakdowns on the roads.
“Rea Vaya buses are operating. However, we are still operating with a shortage of buses due to repairs and maintenance,” Rea Vaya Bus transit confirmed on Twitter.
“We are working to resolve the problems,” Rea Vaya reaffirmed the commuters.
“Please use this platform if you experience service operation challenges,” the entity advised its passengers.

THE HISTORY OF THIS BUS TRANSIT IN JOBURG
The Rea Vaya bus network was introduced in 2009 as a new transport network that hopes to connect parts of the city that were previously difficult to navigate with the existing public transport systems
The network is particularly useful for tourists wishing to travel through the city centre without a car, according to In Your Pocket.
