Residents urged to use water sparingly
When the well is dry, we will know the worth of water.
The City of Ekurhuleni has urged residents to use water sparingly during the heatwave conditions which are expected to last until the end of the week.
“The city’s water reservoirs might be running low due to a high water demand and evaporation in some of the dams that are exposed to the sun,” said metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
He added that some parts of the city might also experience low water pressure due to the low water levels in storage capacity.

During the heatwave conditions residents are requested to do the following:
• To use water sparingly.
• Not to water gardens during the day.
• To avoid filling swimming pools during the day.
• Not to use hosepipes when washing cars.
“Furthermore, residents should avoid direct sunlight and congested places where air ventilation is minimum at all cost so as to avoid heat strokes and report no water or water shortage incidents,” added Gadebe.
