Making a splash everywhere but not a drop to drink

Water started to return slowly to the taps in Laudium in the City of Tshwane after residents were left without water for more than a week following technical challenges with the Palmiet system last week.

City of Tshwane deputy mayor Eugene Modise apologised to residents of Laudium and the city following the water woes caused by Rand Water last week.

"Almost 60% of residents were affected, but they repaired it, and the people are getting their water now," he said.

But residents didn't have water and the reservoirs were low, then they woke up to the reservoir overflowing and water running down the street.
