Last week, residents in Equestria and surrounding areas were left without water for 28 hours after a four-hour scheduled maintenance was unsuccessful.

City spokesperson Lindela Mashingo said the water outage was part of maintenance to replace a valve and fit a pipe on the water supply in Lynwood Ridge that was scheduled for 8 am to 4 pm.

A councillor in Equestria claimed the area had been without water or electricity for five weeks.
