Suburbs

12 suburbs in Ward 88. Those marked (part) lie only partly in the ward.

We have not found which reservoir or tower supplies Waterval 211-Iq. It 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 10 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.
