Plumbing in Johannesburg

Johannesburg Water supplies the city with bulk water bought from Rand Water, but much of its pipe network is decades old, and burst mains and reservoir failures have caused lengthy outages in many suburbs. That makes storage tanks, pressure pumps and backup systems some of the most requested plumbing jobs. Older areas like Melville, Parkhurst and Observatory still have original galvanised steel pipes that rust and leak, while inner-city flats need riser and sewer repairs. Summer storms overload drains, and the CBD's offices, restaurants and hospitals need ongoing commercial plumbing maintenance.
