JW's notices gave 1 end time for Braamfischerville 1 Reservoir. By the stated time, JW's boards showed the water back on none of the 1 that have passed

The water came back after the stated time 1 time; half of those times it was back within 193 days 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 2 notices.

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 0 days. JW published a report for it on 8 of the 272 days in the record; the other 264 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 4 such days.

JW's boards first named Braamfischerville 1 Reservoir on 1 February 2026 and last on 28 April 2026: 9 statuses on 9 boards, over 8 days. 1 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.

Past outages

Each row is one outage: a stretch of time JW reported Braamfischerville 1 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.

JW reported no such outage for this supply.
