Most reservoirs and towers continue to maintain some stability after making steady recovery overnight, with Alexander Park and Berea reservoirs making notable improvement. However, there are those that are still critically low due to poor incoming supply and high demand in all Johannesburg Water systems.
The Commando system remains constrained and all its reservoirs critical; however, the Brixton tower is stable and supplying normally. The South Hills tower is critically low, while the Linden 1 tower is critically low to empty.
Low pressure to no water may be experienced in parts of the supply zones. As a mitigation strategy, the following systems will be throttled to 90% overnight from 21:00 until 04:00 to preserve water and build capacity for Sunday:
- Brixton reservoir
- Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs
- Rabie Ridge reservoir
- Diepsloot reservoir
- Chiawelo reservoir
- Glenvista reservoir
- Berea reservoir
- Alexander Park reservoir
