Joburg Water says city may only experience relief from dry taps in 3 months

# Joburg residents may wait three months for relief from dry taps, Joburg Water CEO Ntshavheni Mukwevho said at a community meeting in Crown Gardens yesterday. Residents have endured days of outages and low pressure. Mukwevho says short-term interventions, including pressure management stations and improved response protocols, should be completed in three months. He says long-term investment in ageing infrastructure is needed. Mayor Dada Morero insisted the city is not yet in a water crisis, saying that would be day zero.
