Insufficient Rand Water supply to Yeoville reservoirs
Rand Water conducted emergency work on Monday night at the Vereeniging purification plant, which affected the Zwartkopjes booster station. We have noted improved flows into the Yeoville reservoir complex.
As Rand Water systems gradually recover, subsequently, there will be an improvement on Johannesburg Water systems.
Customers in the Yeoville reservoir zone are impacted by low pressure to no water, as two reservoirs within the Yeoville complex remain critically low to empty. The reduced supply from the bulk supplier continues to be monitored. Further updates will be provided to customers.
Yeoville reservoir zone:
Hillbrow, Parktown, Spes Bona, Linksfield, Observatory, Jeppestown, Bruma, De Wetshof, Cyrildene, Forest Town, Fellside, Highlands, Kensington Fairwood, Bezuidenhout Valley, New Doornfontein, Bertram, Lorentzville, Judith’s Paarl, Troyeville, Vrededorp, Cottesloe, Doornfontein, Berea, Yeoville, Killarney, Orange Grove, Westcliff, and Constitution Hill.
Johannesburg Water urgently requests customers to reduce consumption during this time. Customers in higher lying areas will experience no water or poor pressure.
Alternative water supply is being arranged for affected areas.
