Short of water at the last report

At the last report from Johannesburg Water (JW), 29 October 2026, 18:55: 15 reservoirs and towers short of water, of the 98 JW reported on in the last 90 days. JW links 256 suburbs to them.

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.
