Water restored in Joburg, except Hursthill

Water has been restored in all areas of Johannesburg, except those supplied by the Hursthill reservoir, Johannesburg Water said on Wednesday.

The Hursthill reservoir still had low water levels, spokeswoman Millicent Kabwe said.

The reservoir supplies Hursthill, Albertville, Martindale, Westbury, Montclare, Coronationville, Bosmont, Newlands, Braamfontein, Melville, Emmarentia, Greenside, and Waterval.

"Residents in these areas are having low pressures while some might not have water at all," Kabwe said.

Water tanks would be sent to affected areas. Kabwe appealed to residents with normal water supply to use water sparingly.
