@infrastructure4 @randwater Why is there no backup generator at the ~Vereeniging water treatment plant? This is a key component of the Gauteng water supply - even basic risk management would recognise this. Does Rand Water not have a risk management department?

🚨 Water Alert! 🚨 @RandWater warns of critically high consumption in Johannesburg & Tshwane! Storage levels are dropping fast, and urgent action is needed. 💧 Save water now! Fix leaks, limit use & conserve where possible: t.ly/OIbnv #WaterCrisis #ConserveWater

@JHBWater @CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero @Rand_Water How is it possible that Rand Water does not have a generator at the Vereeniging Water Treatment plant? This is a central part of the Gauteng water system but there is no risk management to safeguard it

@CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero @Rand_Water Mayor @DadaMorero: Johannesburg Water systems are facing network challenges due to high demand exceeding capacity, compounded by a total power failure at Emfuleni’s substation, affecting pumping from Rand Water’s Forest Hill and Eikenhof systems.

#JoburgUpdates #HappeningNow @CityofJoburgZA Mayor @DadaMorero is addressing the media on the ongoing water outages, speaking from @Rand_Water's Eikenhof Pumping Station.

@Marttwit @JHBWater Thank you for the update

Update @JHBWater Dunkeld reservoir to be opening tonight

@JHBWater engineeringnews.co.za/article/rand-w… According to this news story the power at Emfuleni failed shortly after it was restored and has not yet been fixed. So which version is true - JW or RW?engineeringnews.co.za/article/rand-w… engineeringnews.co.za/article/rand-w…

@JHBWater The problem is that capacity is limited by the ongoing problems at Hector Norris pumping station. JW is not pumping enough water into the reservoirs - this has nothing to do with"excessive" demand

#SystemsUpdate #JoburgUpdates ^LM

@JHBWater When will Hector Norris pumping station be working again? This is the reason for the low levels in Parktown 2 and associated reservoirs

#JoburgUpdates #ParkTown

@JHBWater This is clearly a Hector Norris pumping station problem - perhaps someone could go and investigate what has gone wrong since the installation of the new valves 10 days ago?

Why are we not doing exactly the same, given the devastating impact of the unaffordability of food for millions of South Africans? efanews.eu/en/item/32114-…

PCC recommendations on JET-IP: "the plan should give due cognisance to the fact that the government should ensure .... reduction of energy poverty as part of the transition." Very significant step towards a definition of JET incorporating energy equity.

Para 6.12 of Treasury's Eskom Municipal Debt Relief programme requires that funding received for free basic services must be used by the municipality to pay its Eskom account. That is, the poorest households in the municipality will forfeit free basic services to pay Eskom.

Today's budget speech: "we must correct the underlying behaviour of non-payment (for electricity)". It seems to have escaped the state's attention that 4.5m h/holds live below the food poverty line. Presumably they should all "correct" their behaviour by starving themselves.

@AlexLenferna @TheINETTT P 110: Given the developmental dividend associated with electricity access and persistent energy poverty even where connections exist, a universal increase to 100 kWh per month has been proposed for each of the approximately 10.1 million qualifying households

SA's JET IP includes reducing energy poverty: it proposes doubling FBE to 100kWh/month. This is a huge step towards universal access to electricity. Despite their supposed concern for energy poverty, coal supporters have never made a similar policy commitment. @TheINETTT
