Bordeaux

Where Bordeaux gets its water

Bordeaux draws on five supplies at once: Blairgowrie Reservoir, Bryanston Tower, Illovo Reservoir, Linden 1 Reservoir and Linden 2 Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 22 outages on Bordeaux's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 3.6 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Blairgowrie Reservoir, Bryanston Tower, Illovo Reservoir, Linden 1 Reservoir and Linden 2 Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 15 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Bordeaux's supplies feed. Most name only suburbs, not the reservoir or tower, so the summary at the top uses only a notice that names the supply itself. By the stated time JW's boards showed the water back on none of the 34 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Blairgowrie Reservoir, Bryanston Tower, Illovo Reservoir, Linden 1 Reservoir and Linden 2 Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Bordeaux had 43 days under strain: days when JW reported any of its supplies low or worse, or warned that higher-lying areas may lose water. This is a wider count than days short of water.

The network is linked. Bordeaux draws on all its supplies at once, and when one runs low the others carry more. At such times JW's boards sometimes warn of “poor pressure to no water in higher-lying areas”: under strain, higher streets lose water first. JW does not say which streets those are.
