An affluent suburb of Sandton, has limited to no water supply today.
This after Johannesburg Water said a technical glitch at its Illovo system is the main cause of the problem.

Reservoirs neighbouring Bryanston, Linbro, Marlboro, and Morningside are reportedly not affected.

Joburg Water said last night its technicians were trying to reconfigure the system to shift water to the Illovo system, when things went haywire.
In an update, the local Water Utility said ” preliminary investigations point to an existince of an airlock on the system. This may be blocking water from reaching the Illovo system.”

Technicians began scouting air from the system, but it is not certain when things will get back to normal.

Water tankers are provided in the Interim.
