Joburg Water has assured residents of full restoration of water supply to communities affected by recent water interruptions due to planned maintenance.
Joburg Water, the City of Johannesburg's water management entity, has announced that it is working around the clock to clear its substantial debt of R3.1 billion owed to Rand Water.
This commitment was articulated by Joburg Water Managing Director, Ntshavheni Mukhwevho, during a media briefing following a series of scheduled maintenance of water and electricity infrastructure in the province.
Mukhwevho's assurances come on the heels of a concerning report presented to Parliament by the Auditor-General's Office, which highlighted significant deficiencies in Joburg Water’s operations.
The report disclosed high water losses, pegged at an alarming 45%, leading to an estimated R2.8 billion in lost revenue for the city entity.
