Joburg water supply update: Most areas showing strain or no water supply

After a few days of sunny weather, Johannesburg's water reticulation is once again under pressure, with residents experiencing low water pressure or no water in several major areas in the metro.

The Commando System is usually the first to suffer under water stress because the areas supplied are highly populated and placed in the highest part of the city. "With the latest water cuts, the toilets became smelly, and relatives had to bring in water when visiting their loved ones."

Hursthill 2 Reservoir: Slight improvements after the outlet was closed overnight. The reservoir outlet has been opened at 100%. Low pressure is expected in high-lying areas. Grand Central Tower: Empty due to low levels at the reservoir. Pumping will resume this morning. Poor pressure to no water is expected in the supply zone.
