'So far the only area that has been problematic is the Brixton tower that is supplying Brixton‚ Auckland Park‚ Crosby and the surrounding areas‚' Johannesburg Water spokesperson Isaac Dhludhlu said on Thursday. Nico_Gous
"The reservoirs are built in such a way that during load-shedding if it’s at full capacity‚ we are still able to supply water … With all the reservoirs that we have‚ about 89 of them‚ at any given time we are still able to provide water 99% of the time. It’s only people that are mostly in the high-lying areas that are fed by through the towers that will probably experience no water or low pressure at some stage during load-shedding when the tower runs low.
Contingency plans to ensure the provision of essential services are being drawn up by the City of Johannesburg as it tries to mitigate the crippling impact of rolling blackouts. City of Ekurhuleni energy head Mark Wilson told eNCA on Tuesday: “If you have stage 3 and 4 [load-shedding]‚ you get your reservoir stations emptying‚ then you have a water crisis and water shortages in areas."
