## Resource

Johannesburg brace for water disruptions: Rand Water’s final maintenance phase hits July 17, 2026, affecting major systems like Palmiet, Zwartkopjes, and Eikenhof — with reduced capacity pumping and ripple effects across Sandton, Midrand, Soweto, and beyond. Follow-up to May-June’s successful first phase, this one’s the big one — expect intermittent supply and pressure recovery taking days. Officials urge residents to stock up now, conserve water, and stay tuned for updates. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
