"We have a serious problem with Rand Water in the sense that they do maintenance work at the last minute, they don't notify us and they don't share the telemetry levels with us," he said.

"So we not seeing the levels of their reservoirs and so we can't take preventative action. We find out about problems as they occur and that is the essence of it."

Meanwhile, Rand Water says supply should be restored in Soshanguve by Saturday.
