There has been improvement in capacity at Rand Water’s Meredale reservoir; however, Johannesburg Water’s infrastructure that has been impacted remains at critically low levels.

The following systems are at extremely low levels:

• Commando system ( Crosby, Brixton and Hursthill)
• Eagle Nest reservoir
• Crown Gardens reservoir

Alternate water supply is being provided to affected areas, including:

• Sophiatown
• Westbury
• Westdene
• Coronationville

Eagle Nest reservoir zone includes parts of:

• Southgate
• Mondeor
• Meredale
• Naturena
• Alan Manor
• Comptonville
• Eikenhof
• Devland
• Baragwanath ext 1
• Elias Motsoaledi ext 1

Crown Gardens reservoir zone includes parts of:

• Lake View estate
• Ophirton
• Selby ext 21

Customers in higher lying areas will experience low pressure/ no water as reservoirs are at very low levels.

Johannesburg Water is monitoring the infrastructure impacted and will provide updates on supply to customers.

Johannesburg Water urges customers to reduce consumption for critical needs during this period.

Leaks and bursts should be reported to reduce the risk of larger water outages.

Johannesburg Water apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused.
