Illovo system update
The system was reconfigured last night in order to shift water to the Illovo system. However, that did not yield the desired results. Preliminary investigations point to an existence of an airlock on the system, which may be blocking water reaching the Illovo system – as this is the only reservoir within the Sandton system that is not getting water supply.
The technical team will therefore this morning be scouring air from the system until water can reach the Illovo reservoir complex.
The Bryanston, Linbro, Malrboro and Morningside reservoirs are supplying normally. Johannesburg Water will continue to closely monitor the Sandton system. Priority will be given to Illovo complex, to ensure that it eventually receives water supply.
Johannesburg Water leadership will this morning also meet with ward councillors from Illovo to appraise them of the mitigation strategies the Entity will be implementing to boost water supply.
Alternative water supply through water tankers is being arranged and will be coordinated with ward councillors.
