According to Johannesburg Water, the South Hills reservoir is facing severe strain as consumption is surpassing supply, while the Rabie Ridge Reservoir is currently empty.
Both metros have been experiencing water supply constraints, with low levels at reservoirs as a result of water being used up faster than it can be replenished due to high demand.
Residents in the Extension 39 have been battling with inconsistent water supply since the City of Johannesburg took control of the upmarket Soweto neighbourhood from Cosmopolitan Property Developers in 2020.
