The City of Johannesburg, has committed to contingency plans to reduce the impact of tomorrow’s maintenance on users.
Speaking to media on Monday at lunchtime, Dada Morero, the Mayor, said “reservoir levels have been managed in advance, response teams are on standby, and alternative water will be supplied to affected communities through stationary and roaming tankers during both the maintenance and recovery periods. We assure residents that communication is a priority.”
