Midrand systems
Rabie Ridge reservoir and tower
The reservoir showed slight improvements overnight, while the tower continues to supply normally. Both outlets are 30% open to retain some water supply.
Linden 1 tower
The tower improved overnight and is supplying normally.
Alexander Park reservoir
Improved overnight and is supplying normally; however, levels are still low. Johannesburg Water will monitor the situation throughout the day.
Commando System
• Brixton reservoir and tower: Over the past two days, both systems have been on upward trajectory and supplying normally due to improved supply pressure. Johannesburg Water will continue to monitor the progress.
• Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs: Both reservoirs enjoyed some gains overnight and are supply normally. However, Johannesburg Water will continue to monitor the low levels.
• Crosby reservoir: The reservoir is critically low and poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
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.
