Parts of Pretoria East in the City of Tshwane might spend the weekend without water as Rand Water is experiencing persistent power failures at their Mapleton booster pumping station.
City spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the flooding occurred when the water utility was fixing a major water leak on the B8 pipeline from Zuikerbosch water treatment plant to the Mapleton booster pumping station on Wednesday
Residents in parts of Pretoria could be left without water while Rand Water carries out upgrades to bulk water meters that supply water to three reservoirs.
