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.
Residents are also advised to continue to report all burst pipes, leaking water meters, and open hydrants to:
- 011 375 5555
- SMS 082 653 2143
