Sandton system update
Illovo reservoir
The reservoir is critically low – poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone. Outlets are partially open, however, they will be closed overnight to build capacity for tomorrow.
Illovo tower
The tower is critically low – poor pressure to no supply is expected in the supply zone. Tower is currently bypassed but normal pumping will resume once reservoir levels improve
Bryanston reservoir
The reservoir is currently low, and outlets are partially open to build capacity. Poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone. Outlets will be throttled overnight to build storage for the next day.
Bryanston tower
The tower is currently low as a result of the low water level in the reservoir. Poor pressure is expected in the supply zone. Pumping will be stopped overnight and will commence in the morning.
Linbro Park and Marlboro
Both reservoirs are low but remained stable during the day. Outlets will be throttled overnight to retain capacity.
Morningside reservoir
The reservoir remains low, poor pressure is expected in the supply zone while the system is recovering. The outlet will be throttled overnight to build capacity.
Johannesburg Water will continue to monitor the Sandton system. The overnight throttling is scheduled to begin at 21:00 and conclude in the morning at 04:00. Some areas may still encounter low water pressure while the system recovers. The Sandton system is currently undergoing recovery.
