What the hell is happening to water in Johannesburg?

Why we are allowed to flush perfectly good drinking water (well, currently deteriorating drinking water) down the toilet is a mystery to me.

Because supplying residences with non-potable water would be an even worse idea? Water flushed down the drain can be easily treated and returned to the system.

There were water outages since 15 years ago in that area. I suspect it has to do with the rapid development around the area but inadequate/shoddy work around the water infrastructure to accommodate.

Yeah we know the ANC doesn't maintain and replace infrastructure for 29 years.
 
There is nothing new that the ANC has built. Even all the electricity pylons and city junction boxes are rusted.
Now all the water pipes are kaput and no water.

Waiting for the excuse that the water is wet, like the coal is wet.

The excuse will be that the water is rusting the pipes!

Is it still potable after I've taken a dump in it?

If you're on mains sewerage then it should be headed straight to a treatment facility in which case not yet, but it will be.

Any details on the water outage that has paralyzed Douglasdale/4ways?

Has the ANC finally stolen all the water as well?

Cadre-deployed in its m0er in. Brukken.

The water problems in gauteng will now follow the route of the road infrastructure in gauteng. All the money was stolen, so they can only keep things patched up now, with a slow and steady decline in the overall infrastructure service. Doing what needs doing, would need massive investment. The cadres would rather... divert those funds to their own bank accounts, thanks. Also, once those sweet, sweet watah-tenkah-tendahs are flowing, that genie stays out of the bottle.
 
Three decades of typical African misrule is what is happening.

Also love how these cretins can hardly be arsed to give explanations these days. Special place in hell for these motherfckrs.

Don't worry, plenty days of fsckall water in the north as well. Normally there's a reason though, like a burst pipe. Now it's, eish...summer! *shoulder shrug*
 
Water is coming back in Bryanston, finally. Thankfully I had my 100l Jojo, otherwise it would have been a disastrous weekend
