Customer Notice 27 April 2023
Cancelled Rand Water repairs
Please note that Rand Water was scheduled to do repairs at Johannesburg Water’s Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs as part of their malfunctioning meters replacement programme.
However due to technical challenges on the system, it was cancelled.
This might have affected water supply to the Hursthill reservoir, and as a result, some areas are experiencing low pressure to no water. However, water supply has been restored and the system is recovering.
Suburbs affected include parts of: Hursthill, Albertville, Franklin Roosevelt Park, Westbury, Northcliff, Albertskroon, Greymont, Coronationville, Claremont, Newlands, Martindale, Triomf, Montclare, Westdene, Newclare, Delarey, Montgomery Park, Parkview, Melville, Greenside, Richmond, Parktown, Westcliff, Emmarentia, Auckland Park, Rossmore, Victory Park Estate S.H., and Parkhurst.

Johannesburg Water Customer Notice: Johannesburg Water monitoring critical systems (Wednesday 1 March 2023)
Johannesburg Water is monitoring the levels of critical systems impacted by fluctuating supply.
The following systems within Johannesburg Water are at low or critically low levels. Customers in these supply zones are requested to reduce consumption as systems recover.
1. Yeoville, Berea and Parktown 2 reservoirs:
Both Rand Water and Johannesburg Water teams are onsite flushing the network to remove air. Once this process has been successfully completed, the reservoirs will begin to build capacity.
2. Commando system: (Hursthill/ Brixton and Crosby):
At this stage, lower supply from Rand Water is impacting on reservoirs and towers within the Commando system. The outlet of the Brixton reservoir is currently isolated to sustain capacity.
3. Crown Gardens system:
Levels are low. Should there be a rapid decrease, the outlet of the reservoir may be isolated.
4. South Hills tower:
Due to reduced supply from Rand Water, the tower levels are critically low to empty. Johannesburg Water and Rand Water teams are investigating the cause of the reduced supply into the tower.
5. Randjieslaagte reservoir:
The reservoir is at low levels and in the process of gradual recovery.
6. Alexander Park reservoir: low but stable.
Further updates will be provided to customers. Johannesburg Water apologises for the inconvenience caused.
