Update: Commando System
Overall, the Commando System has improved compared to last week; however, it still remains under strain due to high demand.
Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs
The two systems have improved overnight, although levels are still low. However, the overall systems are supplying normally.
Crosby reservoir
The reservoir is currently critically low. Although supplying fairly, some residents will experience poor pressure, especially in high-lying areas.
Brixton reservoir and tower
The Brixton system is supplying normally.
Johannesburg Water has ongoing daily interventions to improve the system, including the daily throttling of the Hursthill 2 reservoir and the Brixton reservoir. These interventions also include augmenting the supply to the Hursthill 1 reservoir from nearby systems that have adequate supply.
