• Brixton reservoir: The reservoir improved overnight, and the outlet remains opened at 50%. Low pressure is expected in high-lying areas.
• Brixton tower: The tower is supplying normally.
• Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs: Both reservoirs improved overnight and are supplying normally. Low pressure is expected in high-lying areas.
• Crosby reservoir: The reservoir is currently supplying on bypass mode while maintenance work continues. Poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.

Customers supplied by the abovementioned reservoirs may experience poor pressure to no flow. Alternative water supply has been arranged for the affected areas.

Residents are requested to observe level-1 water restrictions which are implemented
from 1 September to 31 March. These restrictions prohibit the use of hosepipes to water gardens, wash cars, clean driveways, as well as fill up swimming pools and
water features between 06:00 and 18:00. Instead, the use of greywater is encouraged.
This is to ensure that systems are kept stable throughout the coming months. We urge
residents to report any form of vandalism and theft of water infrastructure to 0800 00
25 87.
