Eikenhof update: Johannesburg Water systems are stabilising
Johannesburg Water systems are steadily improving and stabilising following the City Power outage on Monday night that affected pumping at Rand Water’s Eikenhof Pump Station.
Overall, the Entity’s systems that were affected by the incident are back to supplying fairly normally.
There is slight improvement on the Commando System (comprising Brixton, Hursthill, and Crosby) compared to Tuesday, specifically at the Brixton reservoir and tower, which enjoyed increased capacity levels. The Crosby and Hursthill 1 and 2 systems, however, remain low. Poor pressure is expected, and Johannesburg Water continues to provide alternative water supply for affected areas.
Majority of the systems in Randburg are supplying normally. Only the Linden 1 reservoir and tower, as well as the Waterval and Quellerina towers are experiencing erratic supply pressure and subsequently intermittent supply into the areas.
Most of the reservoirs and towers in the Soweto system have maintained stability, and only the Meadowlands and Zondi reservoirs are slightly low, and technical teams are monitoring.
Johannesburg Water continues to monitor all the systems and will implement necessary interventions to ensure the system remains stable.
