Commando System update
Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the Commando System levels as it remains low due to poor supply. Necessary interventions are implemented to boost the supply, equitable distribution and maintain the system’s stability.
•Crosby Reservoir: The overall capacity of the reservoir is critically low, and poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
•Brixton Reservoir and Tower: The reservoir levels improved after the overnight closure, but the system is constrained, and poor pressure is expected in high-lying areas. The Brixton Tower is supplying normally but will be affected by reservoir levels.
•Hursthill 1 and 2 Reservoirs: Hursthill 1 continues to be on bypass, and poor pressure to no water can be expected in the supply zone. Reconfiguration is in place to boost supply and provide relief to customers. Hursthill 2 remains critically low at 10%. Slight gains were made overnight, but the system is constrained and poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the recovery of the systems while providing alternative water supply to the affected areas.
