Parktown 2 Reservoir makes headway towards recovery
Charlotte Maxeke Hospital has a stable water supply, while the water levels at the Parktown 2 Reservoir continue to remain stable.
Parktown 2 Reservoir
The reservoir has improved and remains stable, and the outlet has been fully opened to supply the zone. The network is still charging, and poor pressure may occur while the system is recovering.
Dunkeld Reservoir
The inlet to the Dunkeld Reservoir has been opened and the capacity of the reservoir is improving. The network is still charging, and poor pressure may occur while the system recovers.
In both of the above systems, teams have been on the ground flushing the lines of airlocks.
Berea Reservoir
The reservoir remains low but supplying fairly. The system is configured to boost supply to customers. The capacity of the reservoir is expected to improve overnight and continue to improve over the next few days.
With the current positive outlook, the Entity continues to monitor all three systems for bursts and is attending to airlocks that could be contributing to the lack of water supply. All three outlets are open, and systems are improving. However, Johannesburg Water will continue monitoring and implementing necessary interventions to facilitate recovery and stabilise the system.
Johannesburg Water remains committed to resolving this matter and most customers have supply while alternative water supply continues to be provided to affected areas.
