"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.Please note that Bryanston is Low Alarm due to load shedding. The tower is at 2.1m. ^NNPlease note that Brixton Complex reservoir is at 3.92m, tower at 1.9M due to load shedding. Crosby at 2.6m, 2 Pumps Running. ^NNDhludhlu said when the water level is at 1.
"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."

Load-shedding a concern for 2019 pollLoad-shedding is an acute concern for the Electoral Commission of South Africa ahead of the key May 8 general election, particularly regarding the counting of votes which generally takes place at night. There shouldn’t be any load-shedding during that time, we don’t want complaints from potential losers Yep gonna be difficult with the lights out. Gonna need NVG - night vision glasses As long as the counting doesn't give the Ruling Party 50 + 1. That should reduce the level of arrogance we are experiencing on a daily basis from Ward Councilors and other leaders of the Party. Maybe then I will start voting for the Ruling Party again.
