Loadshedding and an increase in water demand have left three reservoirs in the city at 0%. 

 

This is despite the Olifantspoort and Ebenezer plants being in operation. 

 

Municipal spokesperson Thipa Selala says most areas in the city have no water.

Residents have been urged to use water sparingly.

 

Water tankers will also be dispatched to areas that have been affected by water shortages.
