Jabulani Reservoir over time

In 2026 so far, JW reported Jabulani Reservoir short of water on 3 days

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

From April to September 2026 (six months), JW reported Jabulani Reservoir short of water on 3 of 162 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: 3 days short of water for Jabulani Reservoir, from 189 days with a report. The median supply in the city: 4 days.

On Jabulani Reservoir, its last 2 outages lasted 25 hours and 6 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 2 outages on Jabulani 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 2).

JW's notices gave 5 end times for Jabulani Reservoir. By the stated time, JW's boards showed the water back on none of the 5 that have passed

For 5 of the 5, 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 5 notices. JW reported Jabulani Reservoir on bypass on all 189 days it reported it in 2026, and a supply on bypass does not count as recovered.

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 3 days. JW published a report for it on 189 of the 272 days in the record; the other 83 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 96 of the 304 days in the record; the other 208 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 1 such day.

The last 2 outages JW reported on this supply lasted a median of 15 hours; the longest 25 hours. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

JW's boards first named Jabulani Reservoir on 3 March 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 481 statuses on 481 boards, over 285 days. 3 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.

Month by month

Days JW reported Jabulani 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 Jabulani 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.
