JUST IN | Joburg water crisis: Two public hospitals struggling, residents fuming as reservoirs run dry

Issues with the water networks in Johannesburg have severely affected public hospitals and left residents fuming as they navigate water and power outages.

According to Johannesburg Water, the high demand of water is affecting reservoirs and towers in the city.

It has flagged the Commando System, which includes the Crosby, Brixton and Hursthill systems, as "critically low to empty".

Eagle Nest, Glenvista and Naturena reservoirs in Soweto, as well as Crown Gardens and Alan Manor reservoirs, are at critically low levels.

Residents have turned to social media in an attempt to get answers from Johannesburg Water, with some saying they have been without water for at least 24 hours.
