Reminder to save water as Level 1 restrictions remain
The community of Krugersdorp is reminded of the current water restrictions which will remain in place until 2025.
The municipality reminds the community that level-one water restrictions remain until March 2025.
As Gauteng grapples with increased water demands, consumption, unauthorised connections and illegal mining, Rand Water has imposed Level 1 water restrictions.
Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) communications officer Refilwe Mahlangu said the city currently consumes 354 010 00 litres per day; 11 100 000 litres per day over the city’s permitted limit.
“This significant increase in water consumption has also resulted in a decline of the city’s overall reservoir storage capacity, compelling the municipality to implement level one water restrictions immediately,” she worryingly said.
To restore and maintain reservoir levels while also complying with the bulk supplier’s permitted daily limits, all communities within the municipal area are urged to reduce water consumption and adhere to the following level one restrictions:
• Irrigation of gardens with a hosepipe is prohibited
• General watering gardens is prohibited between 06:00 to 18:00
• Cleaning patios and driveways with a hosepipe is also not allowed
“In the interest of conserving and saving this valuable resource, the municipality once again calls on members of the public to comply with the restrictions,” she urged.
