Johannesburg Water has released a statement that there will continue to be a lack of water in certain areas throughout the city.

Residents are warned that there will be no water in some areas. According to a statement released by Johannesburg Water, people residing in Crown Gardens, Parktown, Brixton, Waterval, Linden, Quellerina, Kensington B, Hursthill, Honeydew, Horizon, Helderkruin and Alexandra park are set to experience possible water shortages.

"Rand Water is currently experiencing problems at their pump station and as a result water is not feeding into the above reservoir at a normal rate.
