Gauteng's water crisis has been escalated to the national Department of Water and Sanitation, as political leaders work to prevent taps from running dry.
Leaks and rising water consumption are major contributing factors to the ongoing shortages.
During Thursday’s scheduled media briefing, Johannesburg Water is set to discuss its plans to prevent the situation from worsening.
The utility also said there had been new developments in recent days, which it would reveal during the briefing.
