Johannesburg – Johannesburg Water on Thursday announced that disrupted water supply in the city had been restored.
For several days many parts of Johannesburg have experienced irregular water supply and, in some instances, dry taps.
“As of Thursday morning, (30 March 2023), Johannesburg Waters systems were back to normal operations. Crown Gardens is stable, and the reservoir is fully opened,” the water authority said.
“Water has been restored in those areas, although some streets are still struggling in Robertsham, where technicians were flushing the system to ensure no air is trapped.
“The rest of the areas have been stable for the fourth day in a row.”
Johannesburg Water said the Commando system, which has been struggling the most in the last week, was now stable.
Residents have water and technical teams are focusing on increasing capacity into those reservoirs.
“However, there were operational challenges at the Yeoville reservoir which resulted in the pump station overflooding,” said Johannesburg Water.
“Consequently, certain areas in the Yeoville tower zone have had no water to intermittent water supply, including Yeoville, Berea, Bezuidenhout Valley, Parktown, Westcliff, and parts of Linksfield.”
Technical teams are currently onsite attending to the problem and are monitoring the water levels.
“Arrangements for alternative water supply will be made for the Yeoville supply zone,” said Johannesburg Water.
“The Entity will provide 11 roaming and 12 stationary tankers today.”
