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 Linbro Park Direct Feed. 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).

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 2 days. JW published a report for it on 52 of the 304 days in the record; the other 252 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 14 hours; the longest 20 hours. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.
JW's boards first named Linbro Park Direct Feed on 22 May 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 430 statuses on 430 boards, over 241 days. 16 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.

Days JW reported Linbro Park Direct Feed 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 Linbro Park Direct Feed 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.
| Start | End | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 30 May 2026, 10:00 | 30 May 2026, 19:10 | 9 hours |
| 1 Jul 2025, 17:45 | 2 Jul 2025, 13:30 | 20 hours |
What JW's boards cannot tell you
- Whether water reaches your street or your tap.
- Which streets lose water first: JW warns of higher-lying areas but does not name the streets.
- Why a supply ran low, unless a JW notice gives a reason.
- Pipe bursts, tankers and valve work, which are not on the boards.
