Reservoir strain affecting Robindale

Robindale is served by 4 local Johannesburg Water reservoirs and towers, fed by 3 bulk systems upstream. 1 is under strain; the other 3 are supplying normally. Strain on a reservoir affects pressure, not necessarily supply. Readings are from Johannesburg Water's board of Fri, 16 Oct.

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 and supplying fairly.”

Water supply in Robindale

Robindale receives water from Johannesburg Water via 4 local reservoirs and towers (Linden No. 1 Reservoir, Linden No. 2 Reservoir, Northcliff Reservoir, Linden Tower), fed by the 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 Robindale can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Robindale 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.
