Joburg south residents angry and want answers from council.
'I haven't had a proper shower in days. We get a bit of water between 1am and 3am but sometimes it's just dry," said Johannesburg resident Rozlind Strong, whose area has experienced a water shortage for almost two weeks.
Strong, who lives in Linmeyer in the south of Johannesburg, said it's frustrating.
"At this point, we just want anyone to assist us, but no-one is providing answers," she said.
"We have about 300l stored in 20l bottles - more than Johannesburg Water can supply.
"That's inhumane. We have to reuse bath water for the toilet and laundry water up to three times just to have clean clothes."
Residents, who are supplied by the South Hills reservoir, took to the streets this week, burning tyres and demanding answers from Johannesburg Water.
Yesterday marked about two weeks since Linmeyer and South Hills residents had water. This water-less stretch followed an earlier 16 days of dry taps.
Johannesburg Water issued a notice on Thursday confirming that the South Hills Tower, affecting South Hills and Linmeyer, was empty due to constrained water supply from the bulk supplier.
