Johannesburg, Tshwane, and Ekurhuleni will experience low pressure, due to Rand Water having low levels at many of its reservoirs.Several areas in Gauteng will experience water cuts indefinitely. Over the last two weeks, water consumption increased significantly, resulting in a decline in the overall reservoir storage capacity from 52% to 38%.
Gauteng Department of Health Spokesperson, Motalatale Modiba, says, “The utilities that supply us with water are having challenges on their line. In Ekurhuleni, where the facility is, they also don’t have water. Water tankers is the call that is being made to municipalities to be able to provide. Water is critical in a healthcare facility both for clinical and non-clinical usage. You will not be able to operate without water. There are hygiene issues.
“The people complained they couldn’t use the toilet, toilets were locked. We were too frightened to drink anything because drinking means going to the toilet. The lights went off and his computer. That delayed the Dr and we waited long to be seen,” says another patient.
