Water supply in President Park

President Park receives water from Johannesburg Water via 4 local reservoirs and towers (Grand Central Reservoir, President Park Reservoir, Grand Central Tower, President Park Tower), fed by the Palmiet Pump Station and Palmiet System and Midrand System upstream. Water is fed via multiple sources for redundancy - if any one facility goes on bypass, runs low, or is offline, residents in President Park can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in President Park 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.
