Suburbs

9 suburbs in Ward 56. Those marked (part) lie only partly in the ward.

• Eastcliff
• Gleneagles (part)
• La Rochelle (part)
• Linmeyer
• Oakdene
• Rosettenville
• The Hill
• Townsview
• Turffontein 100-Ir (part)

We have not found which reservoir or tower supplies Eastcliff, La Rochelle and Turffontein 100-Ir. Turffontein 100-Ir is a name on the City of Johannesburg's suburb map that we do not track, so it has no page here.

How we place a suburb in a ward: we lay the Municipal Demarcation Board's ward boundaries over the City of Johannesburg's suburb map. A suburb is listed when at least a quarter of it lies in the ward, or when it makes up at least a tenth of the ward. A suburb split by a ward line may be supplied differently in the part outside the ward.

Supplies

The 3 supplies JW links to these suburbs, with the last status JW reported for each. A supply is a reservoir, tower or pump station that JW reports on. Most suburbs draw on more than one.

Ward boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board, 2026. Suburb map: City of Johannesburg. Supplies: JW's reservoir pages and notices. Statuses: JW's System Update boards.

What JW's boards cannot tell you

• Whether water reaches your street or your tap.
• Which streets lose water first: JW warns of higher-lying areas but does not name the streets.
• Why a supply ran low, unless a JW notice gives a reason.
• Pipe bursts, tankers and valve work, which are not on the boards.
