Waterval and Quellerina towers
Some Johannesburg Water systems are experiencing challenges due to incoming supply from the Bulk Supplier, and some are due to internal system issues on the side of Johannesburg Water.

Consequently, areas like parts of Robindale, Linden, parts of Blairgowrie, Northcliff Ext and Bergbron are experiencing low pressure to no water. Johannesburg Water technical teams are currently working on interventions to improve supply to these areas. These include checking for any valve closures and the repairing of burst pipes.

Commando System
Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs remain critical low. High-lying areas of the supply zone have poor pressure to no water. Teams are balancing and augmenting the system to boost supply to the Commando meter.

Affected areas by Commando System include but not limited to: Emmarentia, Hursthill, Crosby, Auckland Park, Jan Hofmeyer, Vredepark, Vrededorp. Sophiatown, Coronationville and Westdene.

Alternative water supply in the form of roaming water tankers is being arranged for the affected areas.
