Water supply in Buccleuch

Buccleuch receives water from Johannesburg Water via 2 local reservoirs and towers (Linbro Park/ Alex Reservoir, Marlboro Reservoir), fed by the Sandton System and Palmiet Pump Station and Palmiet System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Buccleuch can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Buccleuch 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.
