Wynberg

Last Johannesburg Water (JW) report: Tue 29 Sep 2026, 21:05

Both of Wynberg's supplies: short of water on 5 and 11 days this year.

Each from 189 days with a JW report. A typical reservoir or tower in the city had 4.

At JW's last report: Critically low (1) Supplying fairly (1)

JW lists Wynberg 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: 11 days short of water for Randjieslaagte Reservoir, from 189 days with a report; 5 days for Illovo 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 Wynberg's 2 supplies short of water on 16 days

3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026, from 566 days with a JW report.

Illovo Reservoir

In 2026 so far: 5 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. Illovo Reservoir was critically low. Randjieslaagte Reservoir was supplying fairly. This year Illovo Reservoir was short of water on 5 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 Illovo Reservoir. None of the 8 passed end dates on its page was met.

Latest JW report

Illovo Reservoir, 29 September 2026: critically low at 21:05 (JW: “Critically low. Poor pressure to no water is expected”).

Where Wynberg gets its water

Wynberg draws on two supplies at once: Illovo Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir. JW does not say which street each one reaches.

Outages

JW reported 26 outages on Wynberg's supplies since March 2025. The longest lasted 3.9 days. Every outage, with how long it lasted: Illovo Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir.

JW's end dates

JW posted 11 notices with an end date that list a suburb or system Wynberg'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: Illovo Reservoir and Randjieslaagte Reservoir.

Under strain

In 2026 so far, Wynberg had 33 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. Wynberg 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:
