Systems update: Power failures affecting water supply

Johannesburg Water condemns assault of investigator during illegal connections operation in Tulisa Park

11 April 2022

Johannesburg Water wishes to inform residents that pumping has commenced at Forest Hill as the Rand Water Zwartkopjes started pumping at full capacity. We are committed to restore water in the affected areas by mid-day.

The Rand Water Waterval and Meredale Reservoirs have not gained sufficient capacity as expected, this is still impacting the Commando meter that feeds Brixton, Crosby and Hursthill Reservoirs. There has been improvements at our Brixton and Crosby supply however Hursthill remains critically low and customers in the affected areas may experience low pressure/ intermittent supply.

Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the affected infrastructure as the Rand Water Waterval and Meredale Reservoirs recover.

There are roaming tankers in and around Forest Hill areas.

Johannesburg Water apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused.
