By Moses Moyo mosesmoyo@icloud.com esidents in the Inner City went without water for up to 3 days after a major burst pipe in Doornfontein affected water supply services. In an update issued by the City of Johannes-

R

burg’s Water Services Department, the maintenance team managed to isolate the supply in the early hours of Wednesday and begun excavation. Fibre cables and network cables also had to be removed to access the burst area.

Welding was done around 1430hrs in the afternoon, however progress was interrupted due to rainfall in the late afternoon, however the repairs were successfully completed by midnight. Lower lying areas were the first to recieve

water supply. Joburg Water said that, it is committed to provide sustainable water to allresidents of the City of Johannesburg and thus it urges its valued customers to report all leaks on: 011 375 5555.
