Water supply in Claremont
Claremont receives water from Johannesburg Water via 2 local reservoirs and towers (Crosby Reservoir, Hursthill No. 1 Reservoir), fed by the Eikenhof Pump Station and Commando System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Claremont can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.
Common causes of water outages in Claremont 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.
