Reservoir strain affecting Craighall Park

Craighall Park is served by 4 local Johannesburg Water reservoirs and towers, fed by 4 bulk systems upstream. 2 are under strain right now. Strain on a reservoir affects pressure, not necessarily supply.

Low water pressure likely
A reservoir supplying this area is running low. Water is still being pumped, but expect weak pressure - and possibly no water on higher-lying streets or in the evenings - until levels recover.
Johannesburg Water's update: “Critically low. Poor pressure to no water is expected.”
Reservoir: Parktown 2 Reservoir (Central system) - see daily history
Patchy water pressure
Supply is being routed around a reservoir while it recovers or is worked on. Pressure may drop, or cut out briefly at peak times, usually worst on higher ground.
Johannesburg Water's update: “On bypass. Supplying fairly.”
Reservoir: Dunkeld Reservoir (Sandton system) - see daily history

Water supply in Craighall Park

Craighall Park receives water from Johannesburg Water via 4 local reservoirs and towers (Blaigowrie Reservoir, Dunkeld Reservoir, Linden No. 1 Reservoir, Parktown 2 Reservoir), fed by the Zwartkopjes Pump Station and Eikenhof Pump Station and Randburg/Roodepoort System and Waterval Pump Station upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Craighall Park can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Craighall Park 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.
