Water maintenance in the north of Johannesburg has been in limbo since Monday as Johannesburg Water staff at the Zandfontein depot strike over pay.
Johannesburg Water management had a meeting with South African Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) representatives on Tuesday, but to no avail.
As a result, areas such as Bryanston, Sandton, Randburg, Hurlingham Manor and Blairgowrie struggled with low water pressure or no water as leaks remained unfixed.
