Sandton system update
Illovo reservoir
The reservoir continues to improve and has been supplying at 50% throughout the day. Customers should be receiving water, but poor pressure should be expected in high lying areas while the system recovers.
Illovo tower
The water levels improved, and the supply is normal.
Bryanston reservoir
The reservoir has improved, and the outlets are partially open to supply residents. Poor pressure to no water is expected while the system is recovering.
Bryanston tower
The tower has improved and is supplying normally.
Linbro Park and Marlboro
Both reservoirs have improved, and the outlets are fully open and supplying normally.
Morningside reservoir
The reservoir has improved, and the outlets are partially open to supply residents. Poor pressure to no water is expected while the system is recovering.
As a mitigation strategy the following reservoirs will be throttled to 90% overnight to retain water and build capacity.
• Illovo reservoir
• Bryanston reservoir
• Morningside reservoir
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.
