💧Water supply update @ 19:55
A small, but noticeable, increase in pressure can be seen at the inflow to the Midstream reservoirs indicating a steady inflow into the system.
We trust that all will be stabilised overnight.
💧Update on water interruption.
Randwater advised that they have successfully completed their upgrade and started pumping water again at 4am this morning. Full supply should be restored during the day.
Water Supply Notice to use water sparingly.
Those at home note that Rand Water has curtailed inflow of water to Midstream Reservoirs while undertaking planned maintenance work. Midstream reservoirs dropped to 60% of full capacity & will last another 12-24 hrs, depending on usage.
This means that - even though there is adequate supply - the pressure in Midstream Hill and higher lying areas of Midlands is below the norm.
The booster pumps are not working, but is receiving attention.
💧Update on water situation in Midstream
1. Temporary fitting is in place and supply at the normal pressure has been re-established.
2. Incoming pressure from Randwater was reduced during the day for unknown reasons.
5Jun25: Please take note that MES will, in preparation of support during load shedding, undertake control tests for a seamless transition. This may result in an unintentional outage of 10 - 20 minutes. To limit the impact the tests will be done at midnight tonight. Regards MES
