Rand Water is one of the largest water utilities in Africa. It provides bulk portable water of superior quality to 12 million people in the economic heartland of South Africa. Since its inception in 1903, Rand Water has built the proud history of never failing to supply a continually growing community. Johannesburg is one of few large cities not built on or near a sustainable river or dam, hence innovative solutions had to be engineered over the years to meet the challenge.
