Joburg Water spokesperson Eleanor Mavimbela told JacarandaFM News on Tuesday morning that technical teams were urgently trying to resolve the matter.
“The only challenge we have is with our Hursthill reservoir. Our technicians are sitting with Rand Water and they are still trying to figure out what the problem could be there. But we are also still supplying roaming water tankers to the areas that have been affected by Hursthill to assist them with an alternative water source.”

Johannesburg – Patients at Gauteng and North West hospitals continue to suffer from problems such as a shortage of water, overcrowding, lack of medication and poor treatment by hospital staff.
There was a shortage of water supply at the Hursthill, Brixton and Crosby areas, leading to two hospitals, Rahima Moosa and Helen Joseph, to be supplied with water tankers.
Gauteng Health MEC spokesperson Kwara Kekana said the water issue was not due to the department, but the City of Joburg’s water entity, Johannesburg Water.
Johannesburg Water spokesperson Eleanor Mavimbela said they had explored all possible technical options with bulk supplier Rand Water in resolving challenges with the water supply in the area’s systems, which were being caused by below average inflow of water into the system.
