The contingency plan from erwat or rand water have not taken the continuous load shedding frequency into account and considering that it's been around since 2008 is quite pathetic. Everyone in south africa has had to invest in some form of backup system..........why haven't they done the same considering their massive profit last financial yearKevin O'Hare (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

I live in an area where we constantly battle with little to no water. It is a daily struggle to do simple things like using a washing machine, washing dishes, and even showering/bathing. We've had to use our swimming pool as means of a bath over the past couple weeks. It's frustrating to say the leastSarah Ruthven (Airfield, 2023-03-22)
#60
I am signing because the water outages has caused alot of unnecessary stress in our household. This is due to not being able to wash dishes, do laundry, give our 2 year old a bath before leaving, cook our food or practice basic hygiene the house for the day. We pay alot of rates and taxes each month but service delivery in all aspecs keeps going down. Time for this to stop.Robert Kuhl (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

I'm signing because of the water outages and lack of communication.Tanya Maudsley (Benoni, 2023-03-22)
#115
We the residents of Benoni, within the City of Ekurhuleni, herewith petition the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation and the Management of Rand Water, particularly Mr Ramateu Monyokolo and Mr Sipho Mosai, over the constant water outages in Benoni. The Benoni 2 & 3 reservoirs service the following suburbs: Northmead, Airfield, Rynfield, Farrarmere, Farrarmere Gardens, Goedeburg, Brentwood Park, Norton Home Estate, Northvilla, Rynfield AH, Benoni North AH and surrounding areas. This is in excess of 35 000 properties, with more than 20 Old Age Homes, and 17 schools with approximately 18 000 children.We call for an investigation into -
• the lack of communication / feedback of the said water outages / restrictions.
• the reasons for the continuing Water shortages throughout Benoni.
• the reasons why Benoni 2 & 3 reservoirs are not filling to their capacity, nor filling at the same rate simultaneously.
According to section 27(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, everyone has the right to have access to 'sufficient' water; however this is not the case as Benoni 2 and 3 Reservoirs have consistently had low / or no water supply. These reservoirs are key water points that supply water to the residents of Benoni The residents of Benoni urgently request that Rand Water provides a long-term solution to the continuing and regular water outages experienced in the area by, ensuring water is delivered timeously and in sufficient quantities to maintain the optimum levels in Benoni 2 & 3 Reservoirs. The residents furthermore request that communications be sent out timeously from Rand Water to officials in the City of Ekurhuleni, so that communications are sent out urgently and water points/tankers are set up in preparation for water outages.
Arno van Zyl (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Water is a fundamental constitutional right and we are being deprived of this. Failure by RandWater to maintain the infrastructure calls into question their capability to supply water - perhaps this monopoly should be investigated?Anne Dunkley (Benoni, Gauteng, 2023-03-22)

#122
I'm signing because the number of water shortages is unacceptable and every time we are charged for air flowing past the meter before the water returns. This is up to half an hour of air being registered.Nigel Shipston (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

The water issue in Benoni is out of hand, we sit without water for days on end, this includes schools, old age homes and creches. It's now become a human rights issue. The dams are full, there is no excuse. This is simply due to incompetence and indifference.Michele Klemp (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

According to section 27(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (the Constitution), the supreme law of South Africa, everyone has the right to have access to 'sufficient' water.In Benoni this right has been ignored for way too long now and the quality of the drops of water we get is horrid. We are buying water for consumption as the Doctors in Benoni has advised us not to drink the water. This is not acceptable.

#163
I'am signing because I am sick and tired of the lack of service delivery of the basic requirements of life today. . Furthermore the information provided to the council's by rand water is pathetic to say the least. It contradicts it self all the time. We are fed up with the stream of lies that are given. If we were told the truth perhaps we would could deal with the situation better.Peter Horn (Benoni, 2023-03-22)
#164
We do not get the water we pay so dearly for. It is disgusting that we can often go for hours or days at a time with no water, and that there is no accountability to the person's responsible for this.Julia Davis (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

We are paying for services you can't deliver. Then when we do have water the first while the air flows through but my water meter clicks over so you are billing me for air as your system doesn't work. This happens after each outage.Sean Kleingeld (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#174
The constant lack of water is a constitutional violation. This alongside the persistent lack of communication is nothing less than a total failure by the national government to fulfill its mandated responsibilities to the country as a whole. Lack of water poses a catastrophic health hazard to those thousands of us affected. This must be dealt with immediately via action aloneJonathan Moloney (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#188
I feel that water services have to be provided to all and specifically to paying citizens. And that if there is a water crisis and water gets switched off I an area, that all the people being affected in the area that are paying for their water, needs to be compensated for the days they could not use water or water bills to be adjusted for the times water was not availableTenei De Villiers (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

In Airfield Benoni we are constantly not having water. This problem has been around for about 2 years and is now getting worse bt the day. I have resorted to having to boil my pool water to bath.Gavin Badenhorst (Benoni, 2023-03-22)
#192
The lack of a reliable water supply is a problem and Rand Water is not being honest about the reasons nor do they appear to take their inability to provide clean water as their problem. If there are too many residents in the area covered by the reservoirs, they need to put a plan in place to sort out the problemMadelaine Smith (Benoni, 2023-03-22)
#193
The water crisis is due to negligence and incompetence. This water crisis costs us a lot more money and inflation is the highest in 14 years. The dams are overflowing and precious water is wasted instead of filling the reservoirs. The water shortage is a great inconvenience as well as a health riskMarlene Meyer (Benoni, 2023-03-22)
