Joburg Water says that it will take two to three days for the Linden system, among those affected by an outage at Rand Water's Eikenhof pump station, to recover "if we do get a proper supply in that system".
This comes as parts of the city are still recovering from widespread water disruptions, after the same pump station s substation was struck by lightning earlier this month.
The area s taps were dry for over 55 days, with residents being billed for a service they didn’t receive. Some residents told Eyewitness News there were times when they had to dispose of water supplied by tankers as it wasn t drinkable.
This after residents in the community, east of Johannesburg, spent around 55 days without water due to structural challenges with the South Hills reservoir that feeds the area.
