Good news as the pumping at the Zwartkopjes system has significantly improved, and since midnight, pumping to the Yeoville system is now operating at full capacity. However, the Johannesburg Water Yeoville system will need a further 24 hours to fully stabilise, after which the water supply will be fully restored across the affected areas.

Rand Water has also resolved the pumping issues experienced yesterday at the Forest Hill system. Pump commissioning is scheduled to take place later this morning, which will help speed up the recovery process.

Until all systems are stabilised and fully operational, water tankers will continue to serve the affected communities. These include residents and businesses in Yeoville reservoir, Forest Hill tower, Berea reservoir, Moffat View, Parktown 2 reservoir, Hector Norris pump station, Inner City, Oakdene, Crown Gardens, Glenvista, and Glenanda.

Johannesburg Water and Rand Water are working tirelessly to restore normal water supply to all areas. Residents are advised to remain patient and continue using water sparingly until full service is re-established.
