More water restrictions for Tshwane residents
Rand Water has applied more stringent water-use measures in the City of Tshwane.
Water use will be restricted from 25% to 20% in some areas of the city as reservoir levels continue to decrease.
The affected areas include Ga-Rankuwa Industrial sites, Mabopane, Ga-Rankuwa, Akasia Park, Kruisfontein, Brakfontein, Thaba Tshwane, Blair Athol, Pretoria West, Sunnyside, Arcadia, Meintjieskop, the CBD, Wonderboom, Saulsville and Erasmia.
The city's Lindela Mashigo says residents and businesses really need to try and save water.
He says if the appeal is heeded, the water related interruptions will be minimised.
"Residents are reminded of the following hints that were provided in terms of the partial restrictions that the City of Tshwane announced in May last year.
"Use grey water for watering gardens and flushing toilets, report water leaks and pipe bursts, water gardens before 06:00 or after 18:00 and only when necessary, take a shower rather than a bath."
