Here are some tips to help you prepare:
• Store at least 2-3 liters of water per person per day for drinking, cooking, and hygiene.
• Use water-efficient appliances and fixtures to reduce water consumption.
• Avoid using hot water systems during peak hours to minimise strain on the water supply.
• Consider using alternative sources of water, such as rainwater harvesting systems or water tanks.
• Conserve water during maintenance.
During the maintenance period, residents are urged to conserve water by:
• Taking shorter showers and fixing leaks to avoid wasting water.
• Using a bucket to catch water while waiting for it to heat up.
• Avoiding unnecessary water usage, such as washing cars or watering gardens.
• Using water-efficient washing machines and dishwashers.
