Current high consumption is making it unable to maintain reservoir water levels.

Low water levels have been reported at reservoirs in Southern Johannesburg.

The Grand Central reservoir and Grand Central Tower in Midrand are empty while others are at critically low levels. Water trucks have been deployed to numerous areas.
