MEDIA STATEMENT

FAILURE OF RAND WATER’S H29 PIPELINE

Rand Water has experienced a failure on its H29 pipeline in the Andeon area, this morning.

The line is now currently being dewatered in order for the repair to be effected. We have identified the failure and the repair will take place as soon as the line is dewatered

All meters have alternative supply connection on our H22 pipeline; however, those meters that are supplied from Hartebeeshoek Reservoir will be affected whilst the H29 is being isolated. The Hartebeeshoek Reservoir level is dropping, as its supply was not possible during the 40-hour shutdown cross connection of the H42 to H29 pipeline that was undertaken from 4 to 5 August 2020.
