The municipality’s Elias Bhengu says technicians are working on the issue.
"The interruption has not kicked in yet because when the break happens - the levels were still quite high. They were 80% and 90%. Most areas are not yet affected. If repairs take longer than anticipated then supply will start getting affected," Bhengu said.
