Bramley Park
Last Johannesburg Water (JW) report: Tue 29 Sep 2026, 21:05
Linksfield and Randjieslaagte: short of water on 4 and 11 days this year.
From 102 and 189 days with a JW report. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4.
At JW's last report: Water as normal (1) Supplying fairly (1)
JW has not reported Parktown 1 Reservoir this year.
JW lists Bramley Park under all three supplies and does not say which streets each one reaches.
Your street may differ: each report covers a reservoir or tower and the area it feeds, and higher streets lose water first. What JW's words mean

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”, as happening or expected (expected most often means higher streets). A warning that it may occur does not count.
In short
The latest JW report on this site is from 29 September 2026; the site last read JW's website on 1 October. Linksfield Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir were supplying fairly or better. Bramley Park gets its water from three reservoirs. This year Randjieslaagte Reservoir was short of water on 11 of the 189 days JW reported it. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. On Randjieslaagte Reservoir, half of its last 10 outages lasted at least 18 hours; the longest since March 2025 lasted 3.9 days. No JW notice we have read names Randjieslaagte Reservoir. None of the 4 passed end dates on its page was met.

Where Bramley Park gets its water
Bramley Park draws on three supplies at once: Linksfield Reservoir, Parktown 1 Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages
JW reported 19 outages on Bramley Park's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 3.9 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Linksfield Reservoir, Parktown 1 Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir.
JW's end dates
JW posted 4 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Bramley Park'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 4 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Linksfield Reservoir, Parktown 1 Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir.
Under strain
In 2026 so far, Bramley Park had 27 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. Bramley Park 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.
What JW's boards cannot tell you
JW's boards report reservoirs and towers, so some things are not in this record:
- 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.
