Closure of Sandton System to boost constrained systems
While most Sandton Reservoirs are stable and supplying normally, the Illovo Reservoir and Tower have shown improvement and are now supplying fairly. The water supply in Sandton will be closed overnight from 19:00 to 04:00, Sunday, 21 July. This intervention is implemented to boost other Johannesburg Water systems within the Palmiet system that have been affected.
Both the Linbro and Marlboro direct feeds are supplying normally, however, they will be impacted by the overnight closure of the Sandton supply. There will be no water available overnight, with the system expected to gradually recover on Sunday, 21 July 2024.
Overnight, the Sandton reservoirs will experience a combination of poor pressure to no water due to the closure of the Sandton supply. Restoration will occur in the morning with systems gradually returning to normal supply levels.
Johannesburg Water is closely monitoring the progress and restoration of the water supply system from Palmiet and will implement necessary measures as and when needed to assist in the recovery process.
Reservoirs and Towers supplied by Sandton system: Bryanston Reservoir and Tower, Illovo Reservoir and Tower, Linbro Park, Morningside and Marlboro Reservoirs, including Linbro and Marlboro direct feeds.
