Some of the City of Tshwane’s reservoirs in Regions 1, 3 and 4, which have been struggling to recover from their depletion since last week following inflow challenges, have shown some signs of stability, their low-level status notwithstanding.
The Ga-Rankuwa and Mabopane Central reservoirs are stable and operating normally. The Pretoriusrand Reservoir has recovered and is also at stable levels.
In the high-consumption areas, the Atteridgeville HL and Laudium reservoirs are stable, however, consumption remains significantly high and continues to place strain on the system.
The systems that are still experiencing major challenges include the Mabopane Main and Kruisfontein reservoirs, which are still at critically low levels.
The Mabopane, Soshanguve L and Soshanguve DD reservoirs are still empty. Consequently, there is no active supply in these systems at this stage and the City’s technical teams are facing difficulties in restoring flows due to the network’s depletion.
Customers are urged to use water sparingly to support the City’s recovery efforts.
The City will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates as conditions change.
