Because of the low level of water in the river and no information forthcoming from the Nkomazi Local Municipality (NKLM), residents should please try and save as much water as possible as the town is running on one pump which is on loan.
Washing machines are running with almost no pressure and washing at a local guesthouse came out black.
Please refrain from drinking the tap water.
The current situation with a very low rainfall, could become even worse, as two pumps have been flooded due to broken valves. It has not been possible to obtain any information on the water situation from the NMLM, despite having called and sending an email with questions to the spokesperson, Cyril Ripinga.
