Emfuleni Municipality to restore water on Monday

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Emfuleni Local Municipality expects to fully restore water on Monday evening to all areas experiencing cuts.

The municipality, which incorporates areas including Vanderbijlpark, Sebokeng, Evaton and Sharpeville, says there was an electricity problem which affected Rand Water’s pumping station in Vereeniging, South of Johannesburg at the weekend.

It is believed the problem was due to cable theft.  A number of areas in the municipality have been without water since Sunday morning.

“Rand Water has been able to be operational and is able to feed water back into the reservoirs. Water is beginning to trickle down back into respective areas, but I must caution that not all areas will receive water but it will be later in the evening because the further they are from the source point, it means that they’ll receive water a bit later. The latest would be around 9/10,” says Municipal Spokesperson, Stanley Gaba.
