Several Midrand areas including Kaalfontein and Ebony Park are experiencing water shortages as the President Park Reservoir struggles to meet demand.
President Park Reservoir supplies our areas of Kaalfontein, Allandale, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge with water.
Residents in Midrand woke up to water shortages as the President Park Reservoir came under severe strain, affecting several KAE areas.
The President Park Reservoir, which supplies several areas in Midrand including KAE, is currently under severe strain due to increased demand, leaving many residents without water since this morning.
AREAS AFFECTED BY WATER SHORTAGES:
• Ebony Park
• Ivory Park
• Glen Acres
• Austin View
• Glen View
• Kaalfontein
• Allandale
Several parts of Kaalfontein, Allandale and Ebony Park (KAE) are currently experiencing low pressure to no water
WHY IS THERE NO WATER IN MIDRAND?
Due to the strain on the system, water supply is not reaching all areas, especially high-lying sections, while recovery efforts continue.
Johannesburg Water says interventions are being implemented to stabilise supply, but recovery depends on reducing demand and allowing reservoirs to rebuild capacity.
Residents are urged to:
• Use water sparingly
• Avoid unnecessary usage
• Store water where possible
Johannesburg Water has not confirmed a full restoration time, as recovery depends on reduced consumption and reservoir levels stabilising.
KAE News will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates.
