Level one water restrictions remain in place — Joburg Water
JOBURG – City of Johannesburg residents are encouraged to save water as level one water restrictions remain in place.
Johannesburg Water would like to remind residents that level one water restrictions remain in place until March 31.
“South Africa is a water-scarce country and at all times residents are reminded to conserve water,” said the entity in a statement.
According to Section 44 (3) of the Water Services bylaw, the water restrictions are as follows:
On an annual basis, between 06:00 to 18:00 from September 1 to March 31 and 08:00 to 16:00 from April 1 to August 31, all consumers are prohibited from watering and irrigating their gardens. All consumers are prohibited from using a hosepipe to clean paved areas and driveways with municipal water.
Residents are encouraged to consider the following water-saving tips:
- Do not leave taps dripping.
- Wash your car on the grass, this will water your lawn at the same time.
- Use a watering can instead of a hosepipe.
- Shorten your showering time.
- Use a glass of water to rinse when brushing your teeth.
- Take shallow baths, avoid filling your bath to a depth greater than 100mm.
- Re-use water to water your garden or pot plants.
