Commando System update
Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the water levels within the system to boost capacity and to ensure adequate supply.
•Brixton Reservoir and Tower: The reservoir levels have shown improvement following the overnight intervention, with the outlet now open and providing a regular supply. Poor pressure is anticipated while the system recovers. The outlet will be closed overnight to boost capacity for the next day.
•Hursthill 1 and 2 Reservoirs: Hursthill 1 is currently in bypass mode, resulting in poor pressure and no water in the supply zone. Reconfiguration measures are being implemented to boost supply and provide relief to customers. Hursthill 2 remains critically low following overnight interventions. Poor pressure and no water is expected in high lying areas. The outlet will be closed overnight to boost capacity for the next day.
•Crosby Reservoir: The levels remain stable but low. The system is supplying fairly but poor pressure may occur in high-lying areas of the supply zone.
Areas supplied by the Commando System.

Commando System update
Johannesburg Water is actively monitoring the Commando System levels, which are currently low due to poor supply. Necessary measures to improve the supply, ensure fair distribution, and maintain the stability of the system are implemented.
•Crosby Reservoir: currently, the capacity level is low, resulting in poor pressure in high lying areas of the supply zone.
•The reservoir levels have shown improvement following the overnight closure; however, the system remains constrained. Poor pressure is expected in high lying areas. The Brixton Tower is currently supplying normally but will be affected by reservoir levels.
•Hursthill 1 and 2 Reservoirs: Hursthill 1 remains on bypass mode, poor pressure to no water can be expected in the supply zone. Reconfiguration is in place to boost supply and provide relief to customers. Hursthill 2 remains critically low, and slight progress was made overnight, but the system is still constrained, and poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
Johannesburg Water continues to monitor the recovery of the systems while providing alternative water supply to the affected areas.

Closure of Sandton System to boost constrained systems
While most Sandton Reservoirs are stable and supplying normally, the Illovo Reservoir and Tower have shown improvement and are now supplying fairly. The water supply in Sandton will be closed overnight from 19:00 to 04:00, Sunday, 21 July. This intervention is implemented to boost other Johannesburg Water systems within the Palmiet system that have been affected.
Both the Linbro and Marlboro direct feeds are supplying normally, however, they will be impacted by the overnight closure of the Sandton supply. There will be no water available overnight, with the system expected to gradually recover on Sunday, 21 July 2024.
Overnight, the Sandton reservoirs will experience a combination of poor pressure to no water due to the closure of the Sandton supply. Restoration will occur in the morning with systems gradually returning to normal supply levels.
Johannesburg Water is closely monitoring the progress and restoration of the water supply system from Palmiet and will implement necessary measures as and when needed to assist in the recovery process.
Reservoirs and Towers supplied by Sandton system: Bryanston Reservoir and Tower, Illovo Reservoir and Tower, Linbro Park, Morningside and Marlboro Reservoirs, including Linbro and Marlboro direct feeds.
