2. Recovery of Eikenhof system after power failure
Johannesburg Water wishes to advise customers that City Power has completed repairs at Eikenhof pump station, and pumping has resumed at full capacity. The Rand Water reservoirs will need to recover before a positive effect can be seen through improved levels at Johannesburg Water’s systems.
Johannesburg Water is monitoring supply to the following affected infrastructure:
1. Commando system (Crosby, Brixton and Hursthill)
2. Randwater direct feeds:
* Cornelius Street

The Crosby, Brixton, Hurst Hill, Crown Gardens, Linden and Eagles Nest systems are at critically low levels. Customers in the higher lying areas will experience no water/poor pressure.
Alternate water supply is arranged for sensitive customers, i.e., hospitals and customers in higher lying areas.
The predicted cooler weather over the next few days will assist in lowering water demand, which affects the maintenance of capacity. Johannesburg Water requests customers to continue reducing consumption, only using water for human and household needs, which will significantly assist in recovery the affected systems.
Further updates will be provided to customers.
Johannesburg Water apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused.
