Commando System update

Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the water levels within the system to boost capacity and to ensure adequate supply.
•Brixton Reservoir and Tower: The reservoir levels have shown improvement following the overnight intervention, with the outlet now open and providing a regular supply. Poor pressure is anticipated while the system recovers. The outlet will be closed overnight to boost capacity for the next day.
•Hursthill 1 and 2 Reservoirs: Hursthill 1 is currently in bypass mode, resulting in poor pressure and no water in the supply zone. Reconfiguration measures are being implemented to boost supply and provide relief to customers. Hursthill 2 remains critically low following overnight interventions. Poor pressure and no water is expected in high lying areas. The outlet will be closed overnight to boost capacity for the next day.
•Crosby Reservoir: The levels remain stable but low. The system is supplying fairly but poor pressure may occur in high-lying areas of the supply zone.
