Illovo System Update
As previously communicated, the system was reconfigured last night to redirect water to the Illovo system. Unfortunately, this did not produce the expected results.
As committed, joint teams were deployed this morning to implement the following planned intervention:
1. The team continued with scouring air from the system at the Bramley point.
The above intervention has resulted in water supply being received into Illovo at a slow but promising rate. The reservoir outlet remains open to ensure supply to customers within the supply zone. However, the outlet will be restricted during the night to build up capacity in the reservoir.
The Bryanston, Linbro, Malboro, and Morningside reservoirs are currently supplying water.
Alternative water supply through tankers has been arranged and will be coordinated by ward councilors and onsite teams.
Further updates will be provided as they become available.
