Johannesburg Water's latest update: “Incoming supply to Yeoville Reservoirs 1 & 2 remains severely constrained, with not much improvement achieved during the day. Outlets are currently open and supplying the designated zone under very constrained conditions. Pumping at the Yeoville Pump Station has remained suspended since yesterday morning due to poor suction pressures.”

“Storage” is roughly how long this reservoir can keep supplying if its inflow stopped - a rough cushion, not a countdown. Figures from Johannesburg Water’s published reservoir details.

What this means for your taps

A reservoir that is running low keeps supplying water, but at weaker pressure - taps may run slow, and higher-lying streets or evening peak times can see little to no water until levels recover. It is worth keeping a few litres stored; if your area sees this often, a backup tank or booster pump is worth pricing.
