WATER UPDATE – SUMMIT RESERVOIR
2 November 2026 - 18h00

Residents of Wedgewood Golf Estate, St Albans and Gedultsrivier area are experiencing water supply interruptions due to low levels at the Summit Reservoir, which supplies these areas.

The municipality has confirmed that the equipment used to measure the reservoir’s water level was stolen.

A physical inspection by the relevant department confirmed that the reservoir level is critically low, resulting in insufficient pressure to supply properties connected to the Summit water pipeline.

What is being done:

* The municipality will install new telemetry equipment to monitor the reservoir’s water levels.
* In the meantime, the municipality is actively boosting the water level in the Summit Reservoir to restore supply to the affected areas.

Expected restoration:

If all goes according to plan, water supply should gradually return throughout this evening and into tomorrow.
