Meadowhurst

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

Both of Meadowhurst's supplies: short of water on 3 and 6 days this year.

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

At JW's last report: Supplying fairly (1) Water as normal (1)

JW lists Meadowhurst 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: 6 days short of water for Olivedale Reservoir, from 190 days with a report; 3 days for Kensington B 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 Meadowhurst's 2 supplies short of water on 9 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 517 days with a JW report.

Kensington B Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 3 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. Kensington B Reservoir and Olivedale Reservoir were supplying fairly or better. This year Olivedale Reservoir was short of water on 6 of the 190 days JW reported it. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. On Olivedale Reservoir, half of its last 5 outages were over within 19 hours; the longest since March 2025 lasted 45 hours. No JW notice we have read names Olivedale Reservoir. None of the 8 passed end dates on its page was met.

Where Meadowhurst gets its water

Meadowhurst draws on two supplies at once: Kensington B Reservoir and Olivedale Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 6 outages on Meadowhurst's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 46 hours. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Kensington B Reservoir and Olivedale Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 13 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Meadowhurst'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 12 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Kensington B Reservoir and Olivedale Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Meadowhurst had 16 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. Meadowhurst 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:
