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: 1 day short of water for Jabulani Tower, from 189 days with a report. The median supply in the city: 4 days.

On Jabulani Tower, its one outage lasted 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 one outage on Jabulani Tower. 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 1).

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 1 day. 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 one outage JW reported on this supply lasted 6 hours. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

JW's boards first named Jabulani Tower on 3 March 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 481 statuses on 481 boards, over 285 days. 1 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.

Month by month

Days JW reported Jabulani Tower 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 Tower 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.
