WATER CRISIS DRAGS ON: Residents Left High and Dry

Laudium, Claudius, and Gerhardsville residents are still without water, with no relief in sight until Sunday, according to unofficial reports from the City of Tshwane. The prolonged water shortage has left residents frustrated and concerned, with many wondering when the crisis will be resolved.

"We are experiencing extreme hardship, and it's unacceptable that we have been without water since Monday midday," said a resident. "We need answers and we need them now."

Elderly residents are particularly struggling, with many relying on community efforts to access basic necessities like drinking water and bathing facilities. "It's been a challenge, but the community has rallied around us," said a pensioner. "We're grateful for the water deliveries, but it's not sustainable. We just want our water back."

Councilor Naeem Patel has requested official communication from the Bulk Water Director and Rand Water, and has spoken directly to the Director to convey the frustration and hardship residents are experiencing.

In the meantime, water tankers are scheduled to visit various locations in Laudium today, including:

- Cnr Delhi and Bengal street
- Bengal street flats
- White blocks (Primrose and 19th Avenue)
- Jacaranda School Park
- Itereleng (from 10:30am onwards)
- Erasmia water point (cnr Leisching and Babara Coetzee) will open at around 10:30am

The community has come together to support vulnerable residents, with Laudium Disaster Management, Laudium Community Care, Cllr's Office, Laudium CPF, Erasmia CPF, Ward 61 Residents Association, and PAJ Community Patrollers delivering water to elderly and disabled residents.

"We're doing our best to support our neighbors, but we need the authorities to step in and resolve this crisis," said a community volunteer. "It's unacceptable that our residents are suffering like this."

The City of Tshwane and Rand Water are expected to issue official communication by lunch time today.

Dear Residents

The above feedback councillors received on the Palmiet system feeding water to various reservoirs

"Please note that we are still investigating why there has been no improvement in the Laudium and Atteridgeville HL systems after engaging the backup supply from the Heights HL system. Our technical teams are on the ground and actively assessing the situation. We also continue to hold our daily coordination meetings with Rand Water, including one scheduled for this morning, to assess the ongoing impact of the shutdown. Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.

We strongly appeal to all stakeholders and community members to refrain from spreading unverified or incorrect information, as this creates unnecessary panic and anxiety within the community. I would like to assure you that none of our team members would ever deliberately create a situation that results in sleepless nights while trying to recover the water supply. This is a genuine system crisis.

The Palmiet system is extremely sensitive and requires time to stabilise and rebuild pressure. We fully empathise with the frustration and hardship being experienced by residents.

Our most critical concern at this stage is ensuring the continuity of the water supply to Kalafong Hospital. There are patients who depend on this supply, and restoring water to the hospital is a top priority to prevent a potential catastrophe. It is important to note that Kalafong Hospital is supplied from the same Laudium and Atteridgeville HL system, which underscores the urgency of resolving this matter.

Please be assured that no one wants this situation resolved more than our teams on the ground, and every effort is being made to stabilise the system as quickly and safely as possible."
