Johannesburg Water has announced that it will be conducting unplanned maintenance, resulting in water outages in areas such as Alexandra, Glenhazel, Kew, Bramley, and Wynberg for at least 14 hours.

The maintenance is scheduled to take place from 5am until 9pm on Tuesday.

The utility said supply will be interrupted due to a tie-in of a new 160mm pipe to the existing 200mm and 250mm mainline.

Other areas expected to be affected include Woodmead drive, Waterval crescent, and Woodlands driver.

The water outages will be caused by a connection of a new water pipe.

Regarding alternative water supply during the maintenance, the utility said it will provide further details.
