Klipriviersberg reservoir has improved and has a 50% capacity
The tower is pumping normally and residents should be receiving water.
Johannesburg Water’s South Hills tower’s water levels have shown immense improvement. As a result, residents in this supply zone are now getting a steady water supply.
Nombuso Shabalala, the Johannesburg Water spokesperson, said the South Hills tower receives supply from Rand Water’s Klipriviersberg reservoir, fed by the bulk supplier’s Palmiet Pump Station. As of the morning of October 17, the supply pressure from the Klipriviersberg reservoir to the entity’s tower had improved and had a 50% capacity, showing significant progress.
“The Klipriviersberg reservoir’s capacity continued to increase, and the South Hills tower supply is stabilising and allowing continuous supply. The tower is pumping normally, and residents in the supply zone had received water from Monday night (October 16), continuing into Tuesday morning,” she said.
Suburbs within this feeder zone include South Hills, Risana, Thulisa Park, Steeledale, Linmeyer, The Hill, Oakdene, Rosettenville and Klipriviersberg Estate.
She mentioned that Johannesburg Water and Rand Water’s technical teams continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates to residents.
