The maintenance of the Eikenhof system which kicked off on Saturday, has led to the cancelation of important meetings.
On Sunday morning, the Diepdale church in Diepkloof, Soweto, cancelled a church service, as a result of no water supply.
Most residents who took to social media were not informed of the planned maintenance and vented about disservice.
But Rand Water has completed maintenance work on the Zwartkopjes pump station and on Sunday morning, was pumping at 100%.
Nombuso Shabalala, Spokesperson of Johannesburg Water (JW), said systems supplied by Zwartkopjes are now recovering and building capacity.
These are systems supplying Parktown, Berea, Forrest Hill, Naturena, Orlando East, as well as the Hector Norris Pump Station, which supplies the Johannesburg CBD.
However, she said maintenance work at the Eikenhof pump station continues, and is expected to be completed on Monday, 16 December 2024.
The maintenance at Eikenhof has impacted parts of Soweto, Randburg/Roodepoort, Commando (Brixton, Crosby and Hursthill), Lenasia, parts of Johannesburg central including Eagles Nest, Crown Gardens, Aeroton and Alan Manor reservoirs, since Saturday, the 14th December 2024.
Shabalala said as a result, additional roaming tankers were sent to affected areas.
The Eikenhof system is expected to take between 5 and 14 days to fully recover.
JW said residents in low-lying areas will always recover quicker than those in high-lying areas.
