Eikenhof Pump Station
Rand Water has confirmed that pumping at Eikenhof resumed at full capacity from midnight. The restoration follows power challenges over the weekend, at the bulk supplier’s Vereeniging Raw Water Treatment Plant. This reduced the capacity of the Eikenhof Pump Station and, in turn, affected supply into some of Johannesburg Water’s systems.
Johannesburg Water has noted improved inflows; however, the system remains constrained. Further improvements are anticipated between today and tomorrow as inflows continue to stabilize.
The following systems are currently impacted:
- Commando System (Crosby, Brixton & Hursthill)
- Water Tower
- Quellerina Tower
- Crown Gardens Reservoir
- Eagles Nest Reservoir
- Naturena Reservoir
Alternative water supply will continue to be arranged for affected areas.
