'Too few water tankers'
  • 'This is a crisis barrelling toward Johannesburg at rapid speed.'

Johannesburg residents who have not stocked up on water will face a mad scramble to access the resource.

Two large pump stations, which service five of the seven municipal regions under the City of Joburg will be operating at limited capacity over the Day of Reconciliation long weekend.

Eikenhof station will be pumping at 20% until Monday night, while Zwartkoppies will swing from no pumping at all to 70% from Saturday morning until Sunday night.

Fifteen water tankers per region will distribute water to fixed points across the areas affected, which include Randburg, Roodepoort, Soweto, the CBD and areas south of the city.
