Rand Water’s Zwartkopjes technical challenges continue to affect Yeoville reservoir levels
Yeoville reservoir levels continue to drop due to Rand Water’s Zwartkopjes pump station, which supplies the Yeoville reservoir complex.
This comes after their pumps had technical challenges on Thursday, 25 May.
Currently, Yeoville reservoir 1 and 2 are almost empty, while reservoir 3 had 4.2 metres of water supply. At the moment, there is no water being pumped.
Johannesburg Water is in constant communication with Rand Water teams and further updates will be provided as soon as they become available.
