Recovery of Helderkruin reservoir:
The recovery of the reservoir has improved overnight. Pumps are running. As the area affected is large, it may take some time for the network to be fully restored. We urge customers to reduce consumption for critical needs during this period as the network fills.
Affected areas:
• Helderkruin
• Roodekrans

City Power outage affecting Waterval Tower and Quellerina Tower:
Due to City Power mains failure, supply into both Waterval and Quellerina Tower’s were affected. A generator is currently onsite, ensuring pumps operate at Waterval. Both Waterval and Quellerina Tower’s are at normal capacity and customers in the area have water restored.
