Water supply in Lenasia

Lenasia receives water from Johannesburg Water via 3 local reservoirs and towers (Cosmos Reservoir, Lenasia Cosmos Reservoir, Lenasia Low Level Reservoir), fed by the Eikenhof Pump Station and Lenasia System and Deep South System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in Lenasia can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Lenasia 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.
