Customer Notice 2 June 2023
Cleaning of Hursthill Reservoir 2 underway
The cleaning of Johannesburg Water’s Hursthill Reservoir 2 is currently underway and has resulted in no water in parts of the reservoir zone, particularly affecting customers in Auckland Park, Melville and Parktown West.
While it is shut down, residents have been receiving water through its bypass system. However, water supply from Rand Water has reduced, and Johannesburg Water teams are currently liaising with the bulk supplier to determine the cause of the low supply.
Meanwhile, the cleaning will be completed by Tuesday, 6 June, and the reservoir will be operational again on Wednesday, 7 June 2023. At this stage the reservoir remains on bypass mode.
Customers in high-lying areas are impacted by low pressure or no water. Stationary tankers are being filled at various critical sites. Further updates will be provided to customers.
