Rand Water will implement a major water shutdown from 1pm today.
It is expected to last for 30 hours.
Officials will be replacing an 800mm valve and bypass valve.
Johannesburg Water says it has planned to place water tanks to assist when the reservoir levels reach critical levels to minimise the impact.
