The City of Tshwane has been notified by Rand Water about its plan to embark on extensive maintenance of its infrastructure across Gauteng’s municipalities from 22 June to 29 July 2024.
The planned maintenance, according to the water utility, is aimed at preserving the lifespan of its infrastructure and improving its reliability during the higher summer demand period. This essential maintenance work will involve the replacement of Rand Water’s bulk water meters that supply various reservoirs in Tshwane.
Where possible, the affected reservoirs will be filled to maximum capacity prior to the maintenance work. However, the water supply may be interrupted during the upkeep period and residents are therefore urged to use water sparingly.
The City’s reservoirs that are supplied by Rand Water’s Palmiet System will be affected on different dates as follows.

- Do not fill swimming pools.
- Install a low-flow shower head and tap aerators where possible.

- Use a broom instead of a hosepipe when cleaning driveways or patios.
- Collect rainwater to reuse in the garden or wash the car.
- Cover the swimming pool to reduce water evaporation.
- Take a short shower rather than a bath.
- Close a running tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
- Regularly check toilets and taps for leaks.
