Linden

Last Johannesburg Water (JW) report: Tue 29 Sep 2026, 20:40

All four of Linden's supplies: short of water on 0 to 1 days each this year.

Each from 54 to 190 days with a JW report. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4.

At JW's last report: Supplying fairly (2) Water as normal (2)

JW lists Linden under all four 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: 1 day short of water for Linden 1 Reservoir, from 190 days with a report; 1 day for Northcliff Reservoir, from 54; 0 days for Linden 1 Tower, from 190; 0 days for Linden 2 Reservoir, from 190. 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 Linden's 4 supplies short of water on 2 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 858 days with a JW report.

Linden 1 Tower

In 2026 so far: 0 days short of water, from 190 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. All four were supplying fairly or better. JW reported them short of water on 0 to 1 days this year. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. On Linden 1 Reservoir, half of its last 3 outages were over within 14 hours; the longest since March 2025 lasted 14 hours.

“On bypass” is JW's term. When JW repaired Hursthill 2 Reservoir from December 2025, it put the reservoir on bypass so that teams could work safely inside, and customers still received water; the news reports said this could bring periods of low pressure or no water (EWN ↗, The Citizen ↗). A reservoir or tower on bypass does not count as back when this page checks JW's end dates.

Where Linden gets its water

Linden draws on four supplies at once: Linden 1 Reservoir, Linden 1 Tower, Linden 2 Reservoir and Northcliff Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 4 outages on Linden's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 15 hours. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Linden 1 Reservoir, Linden 1 Tower, Linden 2 Reservoir and Northcliff Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 18 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Linden'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 31 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Linden 1 Reservoir, Linden 1 Tower, Linden 2 Reservoir and Northcliff Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Linden had 22 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. Linden 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:
