What JW reported each day, 3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, one row a month; the number at the right is the month's days short of water. Based on 235 days with a JW report. A day counts as short of water when JW's worst report for it that day was “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”. Gaps: Boschkop Reservoir: no report from 3 March 2025 to 20 May 2025; Boschkop Reservoir: no report from 25 July 2025 to 31 January 2026.

Days per month short of water, stacked: critically low at the base. The tick is the median supply in the city that month. The strip under each bar is the share of days with a JW report; a month with none says gap. 3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026.

In 2026 so far: 8 days short of water for Boschkop Reservoir, from 190 days with a report. The median supply in the city: 4 days.

On Boschkop Reservoir, half of its last 3 outages were over within 48 hours

This is not a forecast. It is how long past outages lasted. Each dot is one past outage, placed by its length: the last 3 outages on Boschkop Reservoir. A hollow dot with an arrow had no reported end: JW's reports stopped before it ended, or it was still going at JW's last report. Either way it lasted at least that long (0 of 3).

JW's notices gave 6 end times for Boschkop Reservoir. By the stated time, JW's boards showed the water back on none of the 6 that have passed

The water came back after the stated time 6 times; half of those times it was back within 22 hours 40 minutes of it. Each row is one end time a JW notice stated for one supply, in date order (hollow dot), against the first board on which JW reported the supply supplying fairly or better and off bypass (filled dot). This asks more than the end of an outage, which comes at JW's first report better than “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”. An arrow: no such board yet. From 8 notices.

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 8 days. JW published a report for it on 190 of the 272 days in the record; the other 82 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 4 such days.

2025: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 0 days. JW published a report for it on 45 of the 304 days in the record; the other 259 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 1 such day.

The last 3 outages JW reported on this supply lasted a median of 48 hours; the longest 3.9 days. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

JW's boards first named Boschkop Reservoir on 21 May 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 416 statuses on 416 boards, over 235 days. 15 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.

Month by month

Days JW reported Boschkop Reservoir at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”, out of the days it reported it at all. A month with few reported days says little.

Past outages

Each row is one outage: a stretch of time JW reported Boschkop Reservoir at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”, newest first. An outage has no reported end when JW's reports stopped before it ended, or when it was still going at JW's last report; its length is then a minimum.
