#WaterRestrictions: Diepsloot reservoir meter restricted due to low water levels
DIEPSLOOT – Johannesburg Water has advised that the Rand Water reservoir that supplied the Diepsloot reservoir was only 28 percent full and therefore the Diepsloot meter had been restricted.
Residents who are supplied with water from the Diepsloot reservoir will continue to have no water for the next few hours at least.
This comes after many Midrand residents spent the past 24 hours battling water issues due to the Grand Central Tower running dry as the reservoir level was not adequate to pump water.
During the course of last night, the water entity advised that the outlets at the Diepsloot, Randjesfontein, Rabie Ridge and Development Bank reservoirs were restricted by 50 percent. This was between 10pm and 4am.
However, on Sunday morning, Johannesburg Water advised that the Rand Water reservoir that supplied the Diepsloot reservoir was only 28 percent full and therefore the Diepsloot meter had been restricted.
#Diepsloot, please note that the RW reservoir that supplies our Diepsloot reservoir is currently 28% full. As a result the Diepsloot meter has been restricted.

The other reservoirs, however, were opened:

This comes as the water entity is restricting the water flow from the Bryanston reservoir every night over a seven-day period to replace the faulty pressure reducing valves.
