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.

Klipfontein View update
Johannesburg Water is working on an alternative supply connection which is anticipated to be completed by the first week of October.
This comes as water supply issues persist in the Klipfontein View area, which is still being affected by high demand on the bulk supplying reservoir. The reservoir remains low, which affects supply to high-lying areas of Klipfontein View.
Currently, there is no estimated time for recovery. However, Johannesburg Water continues to closely monitor the situation.
Alternative water supply also continues to be provided where required.

Charlotte Maxeke has water as Parktown 2 Reservoir improves
Charlotte Maxeke Hospital is recovering and has a stable water supply, while the water levels at the Parktown 2 Reservoir have improved.
This follows the interventions implemented by Johannesburg Water overnight and throughout the day. This includes increasing supply in collaboration with the bulk supplier and closing the downstream of Parktown 2.
With the current positive outlook, the Entity has now opted to open the downstream of the Parktown 2 Reservoir at 25% and gradually increasing the opening through the night while already closing the inlet to the Dunkeld Reservoir late this afternoon. This is to channel volume into the Parktown 2 reticulation.
Johannesburg Water remains committed to resolving this matter and will continue making the necessary adjustments to improve the situation.
Alternative water supply continues to be provided.
