Joburg water spokesperson Puleng Mopeli says the restoration of power should improve the systems while alternate water supply is being arranged for customers in higher-lying areas. “Although City Power cleared the pump for Eikenhof, this has reduced supply at the Eikenhof pump station which affects the following systems: The Commando system , Randwater direct feeds, Cornelius Street, Weltevreden High pressure, Weltevreden High-pressure bypass, Honeydew Tower, Linden Tower, Riverlea Ext 2.”
She adds: “Hursthill reservoirs are low to empty, while Brixton reservoir is critically low. The outlet of Brixton reservoir is opened at 50%. Crosby reservoir is also at critically low levels. Systems are being monitored, and further updates will be provided to customers.”
