Forest Town

Last Johannesburg Water (JW) report: Tue 29 Sep 2026, 20:30

Both of Forest Town's supplies: short of water on 5 and 11 days this year.

Each from 185 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 lists Forest Town under both 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

Day by day

In 2026 so far: 11 days short of water for Yeoville Reservoir, from 185 days with a report; 5 days for Parktown 2 Reservoir, from 185. A typical supply in the city, the median one (half had fewer), had 4 days.

Each square is a day, as JW reported it for a supply: a reservoir or tower that JW reports on. The number at the right is the month's days short of water.

In 2026 so far, JW reported at least one of Forest Town's 2 supplies short of water on 13 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 552 days with a JW report.

Parktown 2 Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 5 days short of water, from 185 days with a JW report.

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. Parktown 2 Reservoir and Yeoville Reservoir were supplying fairly or better. This year Yeoville Reservoir was short of water on 11 of the 185 days JW reported it. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. On Yeoville Reservoir, half of its last 9 outages lasted at least 36 hours; the longest since March 2025 lasted 2.8 days. No JW notice we have read names Yeoville Reservoir. None of the 24 passed end dates on its page was met.

Where Forest Town gets its water

Forest Town draws on two supplies at once: Parktown 2 Reservoir and Yeoville Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

SupplySystemHow JW links it to Forest Town

Outages

JW reported 14 outages on Forest Town's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 2.8 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Parktown 2 Reservoir and Yeoville Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 31 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Forest Town'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 32 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Parktown 2 Reservoir and Yeoville Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Forest Town 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. Forest Town 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:
