Protea Glen water supply opened
Repairs were completed last night, and water was opened at 20:30.
However, customers are advised that as the area is supplied from one direct feed, it will take some time for the water supply to be back to normal. As a result, some customers may still experience low water pressure.
Customers are asked to be patient as the water supply builds up throughout the day.

Eskom power supply issue impacting Grand Central reservoir and tower
There is a water outage at Grand Central, Midrand that was caused by an electrical fault on the supply to the Grand Central Pump Station. The electrical fault, which occurred on Wednesday afternoon, has been reported to Eskom for urgent attention.
As a result, the water level at Grand Central Reservoir is critically low, which is resulting in no pumping to the tower. Customers in the reservoir and tower zone will be affected by no water supply.
As soon as the fault is repaired, Johannesburg Water will be able to pump from the Grand Central Reservoir to the tower.
Roaming water tankers were deployed from around 15:30 until around 20:00 to strategic areas, including the Boulders Shopping Centre, Grand Central Airport, Macdonald’s Halfway House, as well as Kikuyi and Munyaka in Waterfall.
Roaming water tankers will continue to be deployed to affected areas. Further updates will be provided.

Yeoville Pump Station operational
Operations resumed at the Yeoville pump station after repairs were completed successfully on a malfunctioning motor.
This comes after the faulty motor, which was the reason behind the water outage in the area, was serviced and installed in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday).
Technical teams had to then wait for the power to return before they could commission the motor. Thereafter, pumping resumed from around 12:00.
Customers are reminded that it may take several hours for the system to be at full capacity. Furthermore, customers in high-lying areas may still experience low water pressure.

Faulty motor repaired at Yeoville Pump Station
The motor that was faulty at the Yeoville Pump Station, and the reason behind the water outage in the Yeoville Pump Station zone, has been repaired.
The repaired motor was delivered and installed in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday).
The next step is for the technical teams to commission the motor; however, they cannot do so at this stage as the area is experiencing load shedding. As soon as the power is back, the testing will resume.
Further updates will be provided to Johannesburg Water customers.
