An explosion of an electrical transformer at Rand Water’s Eikenhof Pumping Station will affect water supply to consumers in parts of western Johannesburg, the West Rand as well as Rustenburg in the North West province. #eikenhofpowerouttage [LE] pic.twitter.com/LuoSrpYdU1

The @CityPowerJhb transformer at Eikenhof exploded earlier. Pumping at the station has stopped as a result; and it will take time to recover from. #eikenhofpowerouttage [LE] pic.twitter.com/es34sMDZ3M
