Please be advised that Rand Water will implement a planned maintenance to tie-in two valves between the A19 and B14 Pipelines. The planned maintenance will be undertaken to replace multiple valves at the Vereeniging Water Treatment Plant, Eikenhof Booster Pumping Station and Zuikerbosch Water Treatment Plant.  The last part of the project will be work on electrical boards at Lethabo Pumping Station.

This project forms part of Rand Water’s maintenance strategy that focuses on proactive refurbishment and upgrading of its infrastructure to ensure future sustainability. The 58-hour project will commence from 19:00 on Tuesday, 11 July 2023 until 05:00 on Friday, 14 July 2023.  Some residents within the Rustenburg Local Municipality (RLM), Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) and the Rand West Local Municipality (RWLM) will experience intermittent water supply during the implementation of the project.

In terms of the Communication Protocol, Rand Water has formally informed the affected municipal customers by issuing a 21- day advance notification to allow the entities to plan and execute appropriate contingency plans. The municipalities are therefore expected to communicate to their consumers.

We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by the implementation of this maintenance project, however, planned maintenance on Rand Water’s infrastructure is necessary to ensure future sustainable supply of water to our customers. We urge ALL consumers to continue using water sparingly.
