Water supply in Albertskroon
Albertskroon receives water from Johannesburg Water via 2 local reservoirs and towers (Hursthill No. 1 Reservoir, Northcliff Reservoir), fed by the Eikenhof Pump Station and Commando System and Randburg/Roodepoort System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Albertskroon can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.
Common causes of water outages in Albertskroon include burst pipes, planned maintenance isolations, demand-management meter closures during low reservoir periods, and upstream Rand Water supply problems. This page checks for all of these every time it loads.
