The City of Tshwane is satisfied with the progress made by Rand Water in fixing the damages to its pipeline that was vandalised on Wednesday, 22 February 2023. The said vandalism caused damage to the isolating valves for the meter that supplies the City of Ekurhuleni’s Edenpark. This left the pumping capacity to Palmiet Booster Pumping Station at 52% and to Mapleton Booster Pumping Station at 27%, which supply some Tshwane reservoirs.
The latest information received from the utility is that the Palmiet Booster Pumping Station is at full load, and a slight increase has been observed in the water levels. The affected low-lying areas will start receiving water during the course of the day. However, the system will take 5 to 10 days to fully recover following the depleted state of the reservoirs.
It remains crucial that residents are prudent with their water usage.
