Melville

Johannesburg Water is aware of the complaints regarding water outage in the Melville area. This is due to the Hursthill Reservoir being critically low. The reservoir is currently bypassed, however high lying areas are still experiencing intermittent supply. Arrangements for alternative water supply are underway for affected areas. We apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused.

We appeal to all to use water sparingly and to remind them that level one water restrictions are still in place. Watering of gardens is not allowed between 6 am and 6 pm in summer months (1 Sept to 31 March) and furthermore, it is not allowed to wash paved areas and driveway using hosepipes.

Residents are encouraged to subscribe on our website, to our SMS notification service for alerts on planned or unplanned service interruptions. More information can be obtained on twitter: @jhbwater; Facebook: Johannesburg Water and our website.
