Johannesburg Water making headway (morning update)
Johannesburg Water infrastructure is making substantial headway towards restoring water supply in areas affected by the power failure on Sunday.
By Wednesday morning, 1 February 2023, the water level of the Rand Water system was at 39%, which is 8% higher than Tuesday.
Johannesburg South continues to be stable and technical teams are monitoring the system to ensure this can be sustained.
By early Wednesday morning, the Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Mother and Child hospitals had 50% and 65% water levels respectively. Water flow into the hospitals is constantly being supplemented by regular pumping through water tankers.
The Linden 1 reservoir has seen some improvements; however, the supply pressure is still minimal. In Roodepoort, the Helderkruin zone is also showing progress, but is affected by the ongoing power outages. Nonetheless, the reservoir is out of critically low levels.
The Crosby zone has a healthy flow going into the system, while the Brixton reservoir has been opened to 100%. Both systems are being closely monitored. The Hursthill 1 zone inflow is still at critically low levels, while the Hursthill 2 zone is performing better than on Tuesday afternoon. As a result, these areas have little or intermittent water supply.
Provision has been made for alternative water supply, with 25 roaming tankers supplying affected areas. Arrangements will be made to move water tankers from areas with a steady water supply, to those that are still struggling.
The Kilpfontein View area still has four water tankers supplying it.

Johannesburg Water notes improvement on Eikenhof system
With a little over 24 hours since power was restored at the Eikenhof pump station, Johannesburg Water has seen an improvement in the functioning of the system. However, the Entity notes that it will take over 72 hours for the systems to normalise.
The Eagle’s Nest and Aeroton systems in the south of Johannesburg have been stabilised. However, Crown Gardens is recovering at a slower rate but performing better than Monday.
Pumping has started in the Roodepoort areas and technicians are working towards stabilising the system, which will be monitored throughout the day. The Commando, Forest Hill and Parktown 2 systems are recovering at a slow pace but surely improving.
Johannesburg Water continues to provide alternative water supply throughout the City, with an additional four mobile tankers stationed across the City, bringing the total to 27. Alternative water supply has been rolled out in the Linden and Blairgowrie supply zones, while the Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Mother and Child hospitals have adequate supply with 24/7 monitoring of their systems.
Johannesburg Water again urges customers to be patient as the Entity works tirelessly to restore a steady supply of water in the City. We urge residents to report any form of vandalism and theft of water infrastructure to 0800 00 25 87.
