Contextual Background
Water supply systems are often dependent on continuous and stable electricity to power boreholes, purification plants, and pumping stations. Interruptions to the electricity supply, such as scheduled maintenance by Eskom, frequently necessitate corresponding interruptions to water services. This measure is typically taken to prevent damage to pumps and infrastructure that can occur when power is unstable or intermittent, or to manage reservoir levels during the power outage.
