Oospoort

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

Both of Oospoort's supplies: short of water on 9 and 16 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: JW warns (1) Supplying fairly (1)

JW lists Oospoort 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: 16 days short of water for Berea Reservoir, from 185 days with a report; 9 days for Alexander Park 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 Oospoort's 2 supplies short of water on 20 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 562 days with a JW report.

Alexander Park Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 9 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. Alexander Park Reservoir had a warning of weak water or none. Berea Reservoir was supplying fairly. This year Berea Reservoir was short of water on 16 of the 185 days JW reported it. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. On Berea Reservoir, half of its last 10 outages were over within 16 hours; the longest since March 2025 lasted at least 7 days. JW has posted no notice with an end date for Berea Reservoir this year. Its last was for work that started in April 2025. None of the 7 passed end dates on its page was met.

Latest JW report

Alexander Park Reservoir, 29 September 2026: a warning of weak water or none at 20:30, on bypass, the worst status in this report (JW: “On bypass. Supplying fairly. Poor pressure to no water may occur”).
JW put it on its website 1 October 2026 at 13:40. JW's page for this board ↗ · JW's image of the board ↗

Berea Reservoir, 29 September 2026: supplying fairly at 13:10 (JW: “Supplying fairly”), then closed overnight on purpose at 20:30 (JW: “Outlet closed overnight to build capacity”).
JW put it on its website 1 October 2026 at 13:40. JW's page for this board ↗ · JW's image of the board ↗

“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 Oospoort gets its water

Oospoort draws on two supplies at once: Alexander Park Reservoir and Berea Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 33 outages on Oospoort's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted at least 7 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Alexander Park Reservoir and Berea Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 10 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Oospoort'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 16 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Alexander Park Reservoir and Berea Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Oospoort had 43 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. Oospoort 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:
