Residents of Johannesburg are advised to store up enough water, ahead of Sunday’s power outage at the Eikenhof Substation.
City Power, Johannesburg Water, and Rand Water said urgent maintenance, to be conducted at the Eikenhof Pumping Station, will disrupt power and water supply in parts of the City of Johannesburg.
The Rand Water facility in Eikenhof, supplies some of Johannesburg Water’s reservoirs, which in turn provide water to residents across Johannesburg.
Rand Water Feeders 1, 2, 6, and 7, supplied by Transformer 1B, will remain off for the
duration of the outage.
Rand Water Feeders 3, 4, 5, and 8, supplied by Transformer 2B, will be offline for approximately
4 hours, due to repairs and inspection work.
The loss of pumping capacity will result in water supply interruption for hours, on Sunday, 17 November 2024, from 8:00 to 16:00.
Areas that could possibly have no electricity, are Alan Manor, Naturena, Comptonville, Naturena Ext.7, Kibler Park, Naturena Ext.19, Mayfield Park, Naturena Ext.20, Rispark A.H., Naturena Ext.21 and Naturena Ext.25.
Water supply interruptions on Sunday, during maintenance hours, are expected to be in Soweto, Randburg/Roodepoort, Commando (Brixon, Crosby and Hursthill), Lenasia and parts of Johannesburg Central (including the Eagles Nest, Crown Gardens, Aeroton, and Alan Manor reservoirs).
