Water supply conditions across Regions 1, 3, 4 and 6 are improving, with several reservoirs gaining enough water to support more consistent supply. However, recovery is not yet secure throughout the network. Some reservoirs remain critically low, while high consumption and limited incoming supply continue to delay the return of a dependable service to all affected communities.
Region 1: The region's water supply system is generally stable, with reservoir levels ranging from moderate to satisfactory. Levels at Klipgat and Magalies/Rosslyn reservoirs are declining and receiving attention, while the Soshanguve L Tower continues to refill.
Region 3: Carina Street reservoirs have been rising steadily since the afternoon. Pumping to high-lying areas is expected to resume once enough water has accumulated for pumps to operate safely. The Heights High Level and Low Level systems have also improved considerably and are stabilising. However, the Klapperkop receiving reservoir remains critically low.
Region 4: Atteridgeville High Level Reservoir has recovered considerably and is now stable. Bakenkop, Brakfontein, Clifton and Doringkloof remain under some pressure, with storage levels ranging from low to moderate. Louwlardia, Rooihuiskraal and The Reeds have moderate reserves, although sustained high consumption could cause levels to fall again.
Region 6: Garsfontein Reservoir has improved significantly and is now stable, with the reservoirs it supplies also relatively stable. Levels at Erasmusrand and Mooikloof reservoirs are declining, while Mamelodi R3 has moderate storage to support continued supply
Use only what you need to help supply reach more homes: Although much of the network is becoming more stable, conditions can change quickly. In some areas, customers are still using water faster than reservoirs can refill. Lower demand will allow storage levels to rise and help sustain supply, particularly to high-lying areas. The city and Rand Water continue to coordinate water distribution, controlled restrictions and measures to reduce demand.
Customers with uninterrupted supply also have an important part to play. Please limit water use to essential needs, repair leaks promptly and avoid watering gardens, washing vehicles with hosepipes or filling swimming pools. Careful water use today will help protect the progress made and give struggling reservoirs time to replenish.
Thank you for helping to improve supply across Tshwane.
