He says teams are adjusting water flows, bulk meters and network pressures to manage available storage and direct supply to areas of the network that have been struggling.
“Well, the recovery is coming back very well. I think, as you know, the Crown Gardens, which was hard hit, has come back; Yeoville, which was hard hit, is coming back; Soweto areas we are monitoring, and I think by today or tomorrow most of them will have water.”
