Johannesburg Water systems update
The following Johannesburg Water reservoirs and towers are still struggling with capacity due to poor supply and high water demand.
South Hills tower
Critically low due to poor supply and high consumption. Poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
Commando System
• Crosby reservoir: Remains low but operating normally.
• Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs: Critically low due to high demand and slow recovery. Low pressure to no water is expected in higher lying areas.
• Brixton reservoir and tower: The reservoir and tower have improved overnight, and the outlet is opened at 100%. Both are operating normally. Customers are urged to continue using water sparingly as the demand remains high.
Eagles Nest reservoir
Remains critically low due to poor supply and high demand. Customers in this supply zone should expect low water pressure.
Doornkop reservoir
Showed slight improvements overnight but remains low due to high demand and slow recovery. The supply is normal; however, customers are requested to using water sparingly to allow for recovery.
Alternative water supply is still being provided through roaming trucks deployed at various key points of the struggling areas. Johannesburg Water is monitoring the systems and will provide more information.
