Johannesburg Water is urging residents to allow its water tankers access to areas affected by the Rand Water outage. With only a few hours left of the 58-hour planned infrastructure maintenance, many areas in Johannesburg are experiencing the anticipated disruptions to their water supply. On Thursday afternoon, Joburg Water said the Roodepoort, Randburg, and Southdale regions were critical, and as a result, most of its alternative water supply would go to these areas.
