Reservoir strain affecting Diepkloof

Diepkloof is served by 2 local Johannesburg Water reservoirs and towers, fed by 2 bulk systems upstream. 1 is under strain right now; the other 1 is supplying normally. Strain on a reservoir affects pressure, not necessarily supply.

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. Intermittent supply may occur.”
Reservoir: Aeroton Reservoir (Central system) - see daily history
Supplying normally

Water supply in Diepkloof

Diepkloof receives water from Johannesburg Water via 2 local reservoirs and towers (Aeroton Reservoir, Diepkloof Reservoir), fed by the Zwartkopjes Pump Station and Eikenhof 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 Diepkloof can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Diepkloof 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.
