Water supply status update by exception (i.e. areas affected due to supply constraint and not service interruption from occasional pipe burst).
 
Unplanned interruptions
 
1. Water challenges in #Hursthill #Brixton and #Crosby

Johannesburg Water is currently experiencing challenges with water supply to our Hursthill, Brixton and Crosby systems due to below average inflow of water into the system, thus the reservoirs and towers are currently sitting at very low levels. Rand Water, our bulk water supplier is currently investigating the matter.  We are aware that areas supplied from these systems are without water. 

Johannesburg Water is currently communicating with Rand Water to mitigate the challenges of the low inflow levels into the reservoirs. Alternative water supply in the form of water tankers have been made available for residence as well as critical areas such as the Helen Joseph Hospital and Rahima Moosa Hospital. 
 
Water tankers: 
4x JoJo tanks placed in Sophiatown Park (Extreme Park) 
 
Roaming water trucks
Westbury, Mayfair, Vrededorp, Westdene, Auckland Park, Coronation, Sophiatown, Brixton, Hursthill, Crosby, Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Hospital
