Power cuts impact water supply in Joburg
Joburg Water says they're aiming to restore supply to affected areas on Thursday. Crosby, Brixton, Hurst Hill and Crown Gardens were left high and dry.
JOHANNESBURG - Joburg Water CEO Ntshavheni Mukwevho says while power cuts are partly to blame for water shortages in the city, high temperatures have also had an impact.
Water supply went off in areas such as Crosby, Brixton, Hurst Hill and Crown Gardens.
Water has since been restored in some areas.
"We’re okay and we’re supplying water," he said.
"Our aim is that by [Thursday] we should be able to restore water in the area of Crown Gardens.”
Power cuts have led to Level 2 water restrictions being imposed on Gauteng’s three metros.
Outgoing Environment and Infrastructure Services MMC in Johannesburg Michael Sun says the city has been heavily impacted and the situation is concerning.
