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: Brixton Reservoir: no report from 25 July 2025 to 31 January 2026.

From April to September 2026 (six months), JW reported Brixton Reservoir short of water on 1 of 66 reported days

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: 2 days short of water for Brixton Reservoir, from 82 days with a report. The median supply in the city: 4 days.

On Brixton Reservoir, half of its last 9 outages lasted at least 18 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 9 outages on Brixton 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 (1 of 9).

JW's notices gave 6 end times for Brixton Reservoir. By the stated time, JW's boards showed the water back on none of the 4 that have passed

The water came back after the stated time 3 times; half of those times it was back within 21 days of it. For 1 of the 4, JW's boards have not shown the water back since. 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 3 notices.

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 2 days. JW published a report for it on 82 of the 272 days in the record; the other 190 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 9 days. JW published a report for it on 106 of the 304 days in the record; the other 198 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 1 such day.

The last 9 outages JW reported on this supply lasted a median of at least 18 hours; the longest at least 46 hours. 1 of them had no reported end (still open, or JW's reports stopped), so they count at the length so far. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

JW's boards first named Brixton Reservoir on 3 March 2025 and last on 18 September 2026: 283 statuses on 283 boards, over 188 days. 84 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 Brixton 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.
