Midrand Systems update
Johannesburg Water systems in Midrand are still recovering from the second phase of Rand Water’s Palmiet Pump Station maintenance.
Midrand systems are currently constrained due to demand exceeding available supply and Johannesburg Water is putting interventions in place to balance the system and equitably distribute available capacity. The following systems are affected:
Grand Central Reservoir and Tower
The reservoir has improved and supplying normally; however, supply is poor and may affect the reservoir levels. Interventions are in place to boost supply and the Entity is monitoring improvements.
Grand Central Tower
Improved and supplying normally, however may be affected by reservoir’s low levels.
E-Rand 1 and 2 Reservoirs and Tower
E-Rand 1 and 2 reservoirs are low but supplying fairly and affected by poor supply. Johannesburg Water is monitoring improvements and putting necessary interventions in place to assist in recovery. The E-Rand tower is on bypass mode and supplying normally.
President Park Reservoirs and Tower
The reservoir has improved but remains low due to poor supply and high demand. Poor pressure is expected in high-lying areas. While the Tower is on bypass mode and supplying fairly, but poor pressure may occur in high-lying areas.
Rabie Ridge Reservoir and Tower
The reservoir has improved and supplying fairly. The Tower is on bypass, and constrained, poor pressure to no water is expected in high-lying areas of the supply zone.
Further updates will be provided as the system improves. Alternative water continues to be supplied to the areas affected.
