City Power area outage impacts Johannesburg CBD central suburbs
There are water issues in Johannesburg CBD, Marshalltown, Ferreirasdorp, and surrounding areas. This is due to a City Power area outage on Friday night, 30 June 2023 that affected the Hector Norris pump station in Turffontein, which supplies water to the above-mentioned areas and surroundings.
The pump station is still offline, and Johannesburg Water technical teams are in the process of organising a generator. Pumping is estimated to resume later today once a generator has been connected to the site.
Areas in the Hector Norris supply zone, especially higher lying areas, are affected with no water. Lower lying areas are experiencing poor pressure to no water.
Water tankers are being arranged for the affected areas.
Further updates will be provided when they become available.
