Join #SkaSenyaMetsi campaign to save water
City residents are called to reduce water waste, reuse grey water, fix leaks, and report burst pipes, helping to ease pressure on the water system and protect our precious resource for future generations.

Let’s come together and make a firm pledge to save water today. Water is a finite resource that sustains all life, yet too often it is wasted through careless use and neglect. Every unnecessary drop poured down the drain, every leak left unfixed, and every burst pipe ignored only worsen the strain on our already stretched water infrastructure. Wasting water is not just a personal choice; it impacts our entire community, especially during times of shortages and outages.

Now more than ever, we need to act responsibly. We urge all residents to be conscious of their water consumption, to prioritise efficiency, and to spread awareness about the importance of saving water. Simple acts like using only what you need, reusing grey water for gardening, fixing dripping taps promptly, and reporting burst pipes can collectively make a huge difference. Each drop saved reduces the pressure on our systems, helps prevent outages, and ensures that everyone has access to clean, reliable water.
