Out for over three days
At the last report from Johannesburg Water (JW), 29 October 2026, 18:55: 1 reservoir or tower short of water for three days or more, of the 98 JW reported on in the last 90 days. JW links 11 suburbs to it.
A suburb is listed when JW reported at least one of the supplies it links the suburb to as short of water. JW does not say which streets each supply reaches, and higher streets lose water first. A length is “at least”: the outage was still going at JW's last report.
