Reservoir strain affecting President Park

President Park is served by 4 local Johannesburg Water reservoirs and towers, fed by 3 bulk systems upstream. 1 is under strain right now; the other 2 are 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: ā€œOn bypass. Supplying fairly.ā€

Water supply in President Park

President Park receives water from Johannesburg Water via 4 local reservoirs and towers (Grand Central Reservoir, President Park Reservoir, Grand Central Tower, President Park Tower), fed by the Palmiet Pump Station and Palmiet System and Midrand System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in President Park can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in President 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.
