Commando System update
Johannesburg Water is actively monitoring the Commando System levels, which are currently low due to poor supply. Necessary measures to improve the supply, ensure fair distribution, and maintain the stability of the system are implemented.
•Crosby Reservoir: currently, the capacity level is low, resulting in poor pressure in high lying areas of the supply zone.
•The reservoir levels have shown improvement following the overnight closure; however, the system remains constrained. Poor pressure is expected in high lying areas. The Brixton Tower is currently supplying normally but will be affected by reservoir levels.
•Hursthill 1 and 2 Reservoirs: Hursthill 1 remains on bypass mode, poor pressure to no water can be expected in the supply zone. Reconfiguration is in place to boost supply and provide relief to customers. Hursthill 2 remains critically low, and slight progress was made overnight, but the system is still constrained, and poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the recovery of the systems while providing alternative water supply to the affected areas.
