Wilropark

Last Johannesburg Water (JW) report: Tue 29 Sep 2026, 21:00

All three of Wilropark's supplies: short of water on 4 to 8 days each this year.

From 189, 188 and 189 days with a JW report. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4.

At JW's last report: Water as normal (2) Short of water (1)

JW lists Wilropark under all three 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: 8 days short of water for Helderkruin Tower, from 189 days with a report; 5 days for Witpoortjie Tower, from 188; 4 days for Helderkruin 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 Wilropark's 3 supplies short of water on 9 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 833 days with a JW report.

Helderkruin Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 4 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.

In short

The latest JW report on this site is from 29 September 2026; the site last read JW's website on 1 October. Witpoortjie Tower had weak water or none. Helderkruin Reservoir and Helderkruin Tower had water as normal. This year Witpoortjie Tower was short of water on 5 of the 188 days JW reported it. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4 such days. No JW notice we have read names Witpoortjie Tower.

Where Wilropark gets its water

Wilropark draws on three supplies at once: Helderkruin Reservoir, Helderkruin Tower and Witpoortjie Tower. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 16 outages on Wilropark's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 2.2 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Helderkruin Reservoir, Helderkruin Tower and Witpoortjie Tower.

JW's end dates

No JW notice we have read stated an end time for these supplies. Each end date against what happened: Helderkruin Reservoir, Helderkruin Tower and Witpoortjie Tower.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Wilropark had 10 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. Wilropark 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:
