Midvaal Local Municipality (MLM) has notified residents of a possible water supply disruption due to an electrical fault at Rand Water. Residents are urged to use water sparingly during this critical period.

Areas that might be affected include:

• De Deur

• Walkers Fruit Farms

• Savanna City Extension 3 and 4

• Lakeside Estates

Residents are urged to practice water conservation by implementing the following strategies:

• Install a low-flow shower head and tap aerators where possible.

• Where possible, take a 2-minute shower rather than taking a bath.

• Avoid watering lawns and gardens with clean water.

• Where possible, use watering cans instead of a hosepipe to irrigate plants.

• Try to plant indigenous or drought-resistant shrubs in your garden.

• Collect rainwater for re-use in the garden or washing the car.

• Use a broom instead of a hosepipe when cleaning driveways or patios.

• Flush halfway after urinating.

• Close a running tap while brushing your teeth or shaving.

• Regularly check toilets and taps for leaks.

Midvaal pledges to continuously serve all of its customers and citizens with high-quality drinking water, thereby assuring the long-term security of the water supply. Customers are urged to assist by using water prudently and sparingly.
