Insufficient Rand Water supply to Yeoville reservoirs
Rand Water conducted emergency work last night at the Vereeniging purification plant, which affects the Zwartkopjes booster station. As a result of the temporary isolation, water supply to the Yeoville reservoirs has been reduced.
Customers in the Yeoville reservoir zone will be impacted by low pressure to no water, as two reservoirs within the Yeoville complex are critically low to empty. The reduced supply from the bulk supplier is being monitored and has been escalated to Rand Water.
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.
Further updates will be provided when they become available.
