Water supply in Hurlingham
Hurlingham receives water from Johannesburg Water via 5 local reservoirs and towers (Blaigowrie Reservoir, Dunkeld Reservoir, Illovo Reservoir, Linden No. 1 Reservoir, Morningside Reservoir), fed by the Eikenhof Pump Station and Randburg/Roodepoort System and Waterval Pump Station and Palmiet Pump Station and Palmiet System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Hurlingham can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.
Common causes of water outages in Hurlingham 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.
