Sandton 1 and 2 to be closed tonight due to high demand
The Sandton 1 and 2 meters will be closed tonight as part of the Entity’s water demand management strategy, and to provide relief to the overall system. The systems will be closed from 19:00 tonight until 04:00 on Friday, 10 May.
Furthermore, as part of internal interventions, Johannesburg Water will throttle (reduce flow and pressure) all the Sandton system’s reservoir outlets today to retain and therefore improve capacity in the systems.
The areas supplied by the Linbro Park and Marlboro direct feeds will be affected by no water. On Friday morning after the system is reopened, it will take about three hours for the water supply to return.
While the rest of the Sandton systems will not be affected, poor pressure may be experienced in some areas, particularly the Bryanston and Illovo tower supply zones.
Therefore, residents are requested to use water sparingly until the system recovers.
Johannesburg Water will monitor and provide further updates as the situation improves.
