Reservoir strain affecting Rabie Ridge

Rabie Ridge is served by 4 local Johannesburg Water reservoirs and towers, fed by 3 bulk systems upstream. 2 are under strain right now; the other 2 are supplying normally. Strain on a reservoir affects pressure, not necessarily supply.

Patchy water pressure
Supply is being routed around a reservoir while it recovers or is worked on. Pressure may drop, or cut out briefly at peak times, usually worst on higher ground.
Johannesburg Water's update: “On bypass. Supplying fairly. Poor pressure may occur.”
Reservoir: President Park Tower (Midrand system) - see daily history
Low water pressure likely
A reservoir supplying this area is running low. Water is still being pumped, but expect weak pressure - and possibly no water on higher-lying streets or in the evenings - until levels recover.
Johannesburg Water's update: “Area power outage”
Reservoir: Rabie Ridge Tower (Midrand system) - see daily history

Water supply in Rabie Ridge

Rabie Ridge receives water from Johannesburg Water via 4 local reservoirs and towers (President Park Reservoir, Rabie Ridge Reservoir, President Park Tower, Rabie Ridge 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 Rabie Ridge can experience reduced pressure or no water until normal supply resumes.

Common causes of water outages in Rabie Ridge 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.

Check the sections above to see if any of these apply right now.

Why is my water pressure low in Rabie Ridge?

Even when there is no specific outage in Rabie Ridge, the reservoir or tower that supplies your area can be on bypass or in fair supply, which causes reduced pressure. Rabie Ridge is served by 7 JHBWater facilities - if any of them are below normal, your taps may run slow.
