Officials Commented on the Matter.
The maintenance, scheduled to resume on July 17, 2026, is part of a proactive measure to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the city’s water supply system. Areas including Sandton, Midrand, Soweto, and Randburg may experience low water pressure or intermittent supply during the maintenance period.
The Palmiet and Zuikerbosch systems, vital to Johannesburg’s water supply, will be the focus of the extensive maintenance.
According to Rand Water spokesperson Makenosi Maroo, the maintenance is a routine part of the city’s mid-year maintenance cycle, usually conducted during the winter period.
The utility aims to improve operational flexibility and reduce the risk of plant trips and equipment failures, contributing to long — term water supply stability. Despite the expected inconvenience, Rand Water emphasizes the necessity of the maintenance. Johannesburg Water has confirmed the scope of the disruption and is working closely with Rand Water to provide detailed information and operational plans to affected residents.
The maintenance schedule is available on the Johannesburg Water website, and residents are advised to stay updated on local information to prepare for possible water supply disruptions.
