Johannesburg Water says more than 100 water tankers are providing water to various areas in the city and 55 have been deployed to suburbs hit by a water shortage 'crisis'.
Joburg Water denied that its system is in danger of collapsing despite confirming that several reservoirs and towers are under "immense strain" due to various challenges.
Johannesburg Water says an infrastructure backlog, population growth, and high water consumption during the spring season are to blame for the erratic water supply in the city.
