RESIDENTS URGED TO USE WATER SPARINGLY AS WATER LEVEL DECREASES AT DUDUZA RESERVOIR

Technicians are closely monitoring the water level at Duduza reservoir which has resulted in supply interruption to Duduza, Tsakani, and surrounding areas.

To mitigate the effect of the supply interruption, the city has provided roving water tankers to the following affected areas:

•          Duduza Extension 3;

•          Langaville Extension 10; and

•          Tsakani extensions 19, 20 and 21.

The city appeals to the community to use water sparingly, and to practice among others the following:

•          Avoid washing cars with hosepipes, but rather use buckets;

•          Avoid watering gardens during the day opt for early morning or evening hours;

•          Rather sweep than use a hosepipe to clean pavements;

•          Turn off taps while brushing teeth;

•          Take short showers and avoid filling the bathtub; and

•          Re-use water as much as possible – water from washing clothes, and rinsing fruits and vegetables can be reused for other purposes.

Residents will be updated of any development through the city’s digital platforms.
