JW is appealing to all its customers to use water sparingly, reminding them that Level 1 water restrictions are still in place. These restrictions prohibit residents from watering their gardens between 6am and 6pm during the summer months (1 September to 31 March). Residents are also prohibited from washing paved areas and driveways using hose pipes, and cars should be washed on grass.
The municipal water entity has also encouraged its customers to subscribe to their SMS notification service via their website for alerts on planned and unplanned service interruptions.
