On Quellerina Tower, half of its last 9 outages lasted at least 16 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 Quellerina 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 (2 of 9).

Still out at JW's last report (29 September 2026): Quellerina Tower, at least 11 hours so far.

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 11 days. JW published a report for it on 182 of the 272 days in the record; the other 90 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 17 of the 304 days in the record; the other 287 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 16 hours; the longest at least 2.8 days. 2 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 Quellerina Tower on 21 May 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 340 statuses on 339 boards, over 199 days. 10 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 Quellerina 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.
