Freedom Park

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

Both of Freedom Park's supplies: short of water on 0 and 2 days this year.

From 188 and 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 Freedom Park 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: 2 days short of water for Eagles Nest Reservoir, from 185 days with a report; 0 days for Naturena Reservoir, from 188. 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 Freedom Park's 2 supplies short of water on 2 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 418 days with a JW report.

Naturena Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 0 days short of water, from 188 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. Eagles Nest Reservoir and Naturena Reservoir were supplying fairly or better. JW reported Eagles Nest Reservoir and Naturena Reservoir short of water on 2 and 0 days this year. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. On Eagles Nest Reservoir, its last 2 outages lasted at least 36 hours and 24 hours; the longest since March 2025 lasted at least 36 hours.

Where Freedom Park gets its water

Freedom Park draws on two supplies at once: Eagles Nest Reservoir and Naturena Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 2 outages on Freedom Park's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted at least 36 hours. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Eagles Nest Reservoir and Naturena Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 1 notice with an end date that list a suburb or system Freedom 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 2 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Eagles Nest Reservoir and Naturena Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Freedom Park had 19 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. Freedom 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:
