Eskom’s loadshedding puts severe pressure on our ability to ensure that we meet the regular water demand in our municipal area. Reservoirs do not always have enough time to refill to appropriate levels and this may lead to low water pressure or an interruption in supply.

An appeal is herewith made to reduce water usage to mitigate the effects of load shedding: • adopt a general water-wise lifestyle • take shorter showers • don't irrigate gardens with municipal water • use greywater or borehole water where possible • limit toilet flushes.
