Joburg Water says several suburbs face dry taps after power failure at Eikenhof

# Several Johannesburg suburbs face dry taps after a power failure at Rand Water’s Eikenhof pump station. Joburg Water says pumping was restored yesterday, but is not yet at full capacity. Suburbs affected include Randburg, Roodepoort and Crown Gardens, and the Commando system serving Brixton, Hursthill and Crosby. The utility says customers will experience poor pressure to no water as Deep South systems declined to critically low levels. Updates will follow through the day.
