President Park TowerWeak in places

Also listed here: short of water on 87 of the 189 days JW reported it this year, and JW printed a warning on 3 more.

President Park Reservoir: short of water on 35 of 189 days.

JW lists President Park 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: 87 days short of water for President Park Tower, from 189 days with a report; 35 days for President Park Reservoir, from 189; 6 days for Grand Central Tower, from 189; 3 days for Grand Central Reservoir, from 189. 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 President Park's 4 supplies short of water on 95 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 1,090 days with a JW report.

Grand Central Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 3 days short of water, from 189 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.

Is anyone fixing it?

No JW notice we have read names President Park Tower.

In short

The latest JW report on this site is from 29 September 2026; the site last read JW's website on 1 October. Grand Central Tower had weak water or none. President Park Reservoir had weak water or none at 13:00 and closed overnight on purpose at 20:55. Grand Central Reservoir was low at 13:00 and supplying fairly at 20:55. President Park Tower had water, weak in some places. This year Grand Central Tower was short of water on 6 of the 189 days JW reported it. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. No JW notice we have read names Grand Central Tower.

Latest JW report

Grand Central Tower, 29 September 2026: weak water or none at 20:55 (JW: “No pumping due to reservoir low level”).

President Park Reservoir, 29 September 2026: weak water or none at 13:00, the worst status in this report (JW: “Low and supplying, poor pressure to no water is expected in certain parts”), then closed overnight on purpose at 20:55 (JW: “Outlet closed overnight to build capacity”).

Grand Central Reservoir, 29 September 2026: level low at 13:00, the worst status in this report (JW: “Supplying fairly and low”), then supplying fairly at 20:55 (JW: “Supplying fairly”).
JW put it on its website 1 October 2026 at 13:40. JW's page for this board ↗ · JW's image of the board ↗

President Park Tower, 29 September 2026: water, weak in some places at 20:55, on bypass, the worst status in this report (JW: “On bypass. Supplying fairly. Poor pressure 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 ↗

“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 President Park gets its water

President Park draws on four supplies at once: Grand Central Reservoir, Grand Central Tower, President Park Reservoir and President Park Tower. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 54 outages on President Park's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 40.6 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Grand Central Reservoir, Grand Central Tower, President Park Reservoir and President Park Tower.

JW's end dates

JW posted 18 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system President 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 13 end times that have passed. Each end date against what happened: Grand Central Reservoir, Grand Central Tower, President Park Reservoir and President Park Tower.

Up the supply chain

President Park's supplies are in JW's Midrand system.

On 20 July 2026, JW reported 1 of President Park's 4 supplies short of water

Under strain

In 2026 so far, President Park had 113 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. President 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:
