JOHANNESBURG – While South Africans are bracing for regular power cuts, Johannesburg residents will be without water this weekend. The city will be doing maintenance on its Eikenhof Pump Station from Saturday evening at 6pm until Sunday evening at 7pm. Johannesburg Waters Eleanor Mavimbela says large parts of the city will be affected. “Roodepoort, Randburg, Soweto, Langlaagte and Southdale are among the areas that will be without water.” She said Rand Water will still supply water but at lower capacity and there might be low pressure but water tanks will be provided in those areas. Last year, a number of suburbs in Johannesburg were without water for several days because of a power outage at its Eikeinhof Pumping Station. Rand Water attributed the widespread shortages to high demands due to warmer weather conditions.
