Sandton systems
All Sandton systems and reservoirs are currently stable and supplying normally.

Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the systems accordingly.

Midrand systems
Rabie Ridge reservoir and tower
The reservoir maintained stability overnight, but it remains low, while the tower levels have improved. Both reservoir and tower outlets are configured to 30% open to allow capacity.

Alexander Park reservoir
Improved overnight and supplying normally, however the reservoir remains low.

Commando System
• Brixton reservoir and tower: Over the past three days, the supply from both systems has been improving. Supply has also been normal during the day.
• Hursthill 1 and 2 reservoirs:
Have improved overnight but both remain low. Poor pressure is expected in high-lying areas.
• Crosby reservoir: The reservoir continues to supply in bypass mode. Poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.

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 0025 87.
