Reservoir strain affecting Devland

Water supply in Devland

Devland receives water from Johannesburg Water via 3 local reservoirs and towers (Eagle Nest Reservoir, Naturena Reservoir, Power Park Reservoir), fed by the Zwartkopjes Pump Station and Eikenhof Pump Station and Soweto System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Devland can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Devland include burst pipes, planned maintenance isolations, demand-management meter closures during low reservoir periods, and upstream Rand Water supply problems. This page checks for all of these every time it loads.

Why is my water off in Devland?

The most common causes of water outages in Devland are: burst pipes (especially older infrastructure), planned maintenance isolations of upstream reservoirs, demand-management closures when reservoir levels drop, or upstream Rand Water supply issues. Check the sections above to see if any of these apply right now.

Why is my water pressure low in Devland?

Even when there is no specific outage in Devland, the reservoir or tower that supplies your area can be on bypass or in fair supply, which causes reduced pressure. Devland is served by 6 JHBWater facilities - if any of them are below normal, your taps may run slow.
