Commando System: Cancellation of unplanned maintenance
The unplanned maintenance that was scheduled to take place today (23 July 2024) has been canceled due to technical challenges, and a new date will be communicated in due course.
Currently the system is constrained, and most reservoirs are critically low to empty.
Crosby Reservoir is currently low but supplying fairly. Poor pressure is expected in high-lying areas of the supply zone.
Brixton Reservoir and Tower: The reservoir levels are critically low, and the outlet is closed to build capacity, while the tower is empty. Pumping at Crosby will resume shortly, and Johannesburg Water will monitor the improvement. Pumping for the Brixton Tower will resume as soon as the water levels at Crosby improve. No water is expected in both the tower and reservoir zones. The reservoir will be closed overnight to boost capacity for tomorrow.
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, and poor pressure and no water is expected in high-lying areas. The outlet will be closed overnight to boost capacity for the next day.
