​27/09/2016: Major pipe burst in Cresta and water shortages in Yeoville 
 
Johannesburg Water is aware and has dispatched technicians to a burst water site at the corner of Republic Road and Judges Avenue in Cresta. The immediate action is to shut off supply to avoid more flooding on the roads, which is currently affecting traffic. Turning of water supply from the main for repairs is likely to interrupt supply to the following areas:
 
Cresta, Cresta Ext 5,3, 1,4 and 2, Victory Park Ext 8, Robindale,Ext 5, 2, 9, 10, 4 and 1 President Ridge Ext 1,7 and 6 Robin Acres, HurlingHam Ext 5, Darrenwood ext 2 and 8 Bordeaux, Lyme Park Ext 4, Ferndale, Aldrapark Jacanlee, Risidale, Blackheath, Linden, Blairgowrie, Robin Hills, Windsor, Fontainebleau, Victory Park ext 18, Linden Ext, Kensington B and Craighall Park, Ruiterhof Ext 10, 6, 2, 12, 11, 1, 5, 4 and 8, Blackheath Ext 3, 7 and 2, Randpark Ext 3, 4,6,2 and 5; Moret Ext 1, 6,4, 3, 5 and 2, Malanshof Ext 8, 17,4,5,1,2,3,6,16 and 9; Strijdom Park Ext 28, 19 and 21; Kelland Ext 1, Fontainebleau Ext 1; Bromhof Ext 2, President Ridge Ext 1,7 and 6 Robin Acres, Praegville, Ferndale Ext 9, 25 and 3, Cresta Ext 7, 6,1 and 4 Darren Wood Ext 9,2,7,8,6 and 5 Aldarapark, Jacanlee, Windsor Glen , Randparkrif Ext 2, Robin dale Ext 10 and 1 Robin Hills and Fairland,
 
Our Yeoville Reservoir is also running low and almost empty following a power failure incident at the Swartkoppies pump station. Power has now been restored and supply resumed however it will take quite some time for normal supply and pressure to be restored to Yeoville, Berea, Linksfield, Hilbrow, Bellevue and surroundings.
 
Water tankers are currently being deployed to the affected areas.We will update residents on the developments. Johannesburg Water apologises for the inconvenience to consumers.
