Rand Water spokesperson Justice Mohale says in Ekurhuleni the water cuts will impact the Germiston and Bedfordview areas.
“This has been prompted by the fact that we are trying to fix a leak on 05 pipeline which supplies part of Ekurhuleni. This will commence today at 1 o’clock until 1’o clock tomorrow which means it’s going to be 24 hours. We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience that might have been caused by this,” says Mohale.
