Residents are also not allowed to fill swimming pools and no washing of cars and pavements using hose pipes are permitted. All illegal car washers are restricted from using clean, drinkable water and taps should not be left running.”
Mapheto said that the Lydenburg dam, the town’s main supply is running dry making water shortage in town is a real threat.
