TSHWANE IMPLEMENTS OVERNIGHT WATER RESTRICTIONS AS SUPPLY NETWORK COMES UNDER PRESSURE The City of Tshwane has introduced temporary overnight water restrictions affecting several reservoirs and communities across Pretoria, Centurion, Akasia and Ga-Rankuwa as authorities attempt to stabilise the water supply network amid exceptionally high consumption. The intervention began at 18:00 on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, and will remain in place until 06:00 on Thursday, 29 October 2026. The City says selected reservoirs will have their water supply reduced or temporarily shut off to relieve pressure on upstream systems. Although the affected reservoirs currently have adequate water, exceptionally high consumption in their supply areas is placing significant strain on the broader network. 🔴 AREAS AFFECTED The restrictions affect the following reservoir supply areas: • Akasia: Amandasig, Rosslyn, The Orchards, Karen Park, Clarina, Dorandia, Florauna, Heatherview, Theresapark, Nina Park and surrounding areas. • Bakenkop: Eldoraigne, Clubview, Wierdapark, Hennopspark, Rooihuiskraal Noord, Celtisdal, Lyttelton and surrounding areas. • Erasmia: Erasmia, Christoburg, Sunderland Ridge and surrounding areas. • Erasmusrand: Erasmusrand, Waterkloof, Waterkloof Ridge and Erasmuskloof. • Ga-Rankuwa West and Industrial: Ga-Rankuwa, Ga-Rankuwa Industrial, Medunsa and surrounding areas. • Iscor: Kwaggasrand, Philip Nel Park, Pretoria Industrial, Proclamation Hill and West Park. • Lynnwood: Lynnwood, Lynnwood Manor, Menlo Park, Menlyn, Garsfontein, Koedoespoort and surrounding areas. • Meintjieskop: Arcadia, Bryntirion, Eastwood, Riviera, Villieria, Rietfontein, Prinshof and surrounding areas. • Murrayfield: Murrayfield, Meyerspark, La Montagne, Salieshoek and surrounding areas. • Parkmore LL: Faerie Glen, Constantia Park, Lynnwood Glen, Lynnwood Park, Newlands, Menlyn, Garsfontein and Waterkloof Glen. • Rooihuiskraal: Rooihuiskraal, Olievenhoutbosch, Heuweloord, Kosmosdal, The Reeds, Monavoni and surrounding areas. • The Reeds: The Reeds, Olievenhoutbosch and Rua Vista. Residents in these areas may experience low water pressure or temporary water supply interruptions during the intervention. 🔴 WHY ARE THE RESTRICTIONS NECESSARY? The City says reducing demand overnight should help balance the wider water network, stabilise Rand Water systems and improve the availability of water to communities experiencing shortages. The intervention is also intended to support the Klapperkop system and help sustain improved levels in the Garsfontein systems, where reservoir levels remain critically low and unstable. 🔴 WHEN WILL WATER SUPPLY RETURN TO NORMAL? The restrictions are scheduled to end at 06:00 on Thursday morning. However, the City has warned that water supply will be reopened gradually and that recovery times may differ across affected communities. Residents should therefore not assume that water pressure will return to normal immediately at 06:00. 🔴 CALL TO RESIDENTS The City is urging residents to use water strictly for essential needs during this period. Residents are asked to avoid watering gardens, washing vehicles and filling swimming pools to help reservoirs recover and reduce pressure on the network. The City has apologised for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience and cooperation. @CityTshwane
