In a notice Joburg Water said from 8pm tonight till 8pm on Monday there would be, “no water for the duration of hours”.

The water utility said the interruption was due to the installation of isolating valves at Hector Norris Pump Station as part of the ongoing upgrade project.

Spokesperson Nolwazi Dhlamini said it was not a water outage but, “maintenance work which we have always done and do regularly”.

Dhlamini added it was standard procedure for the water supply to be completely switched off during the maintenance process.

“We isolate a system before repairs and maintenance work to avoid water flowing at the section or point of repair and maintenance.
