The Rain Is Welcome, but We Still Need to Save Water

By Super User 676

Welcome rain has been falling over the past weeks, but we must continue to save water because not all the dams that feed to Rand Water are at full capacity.

Check out the dam levels as below, published by Rand Water on 2 February 2021, and the figures should motivate you to do everything in your home or business to save water. This is in your interest and that of your family, business and your City.

Do the right thing – save water in your kitchen, bathroom, garden, your laundry/washing day and in your business/plant.
