Hursthill reservoir technical challenges

Johannesburg Water Hursthill Reservoir is still battling to fully recover from the power failure that affected our bulk supplier Rand Water which impacted many areas in the South to a point of low pressure to no water in certain areas.

The entity is working around the clock to address the issue and our teams are on the ground checking the bulk mainline valves to see if the valves are functioning as intended. We can now confirm that there is water going into the reservoir at this moment though the water is not sufficient to feed all the affected areas supplied by this Reservoir.

At the moment only the areas such as Auckland Park, Sophiatown, Coronationville and neighbouring suburbs are affected and water tankers have been placed in the areas as an alternative water supply and we are ensuring that the hospitals in the area have sufficient water supply during this period.

Please find below the list of addresses where water tanks are placed:

  1. Alwayn RD & babiana Street
  2. Commando & main RD Revelea
  3. Jukskei Drive & Wilhemina Hokins
  4. Japura village cnr of Erythrin for Senior Citizen-Riverlea
