Breaking News: Water rationing to start on Monday: https://bit.ly/2fiES5z

The metro will start with water rationing measures from this week, in an effort to save water. The municipality has no choice but to take this drastic step, as voluntary water saving measures by residents have averaged a savings rate of about 3.5 per cent a week, a far cry from the required 15 per cent. Recent rains have not significantly improved water levels. The country needs good rainfall for an extended period to come out of the drought of recent years.

• Duncan Hamer, “I never water the yard and don’t have a pool, yet my bill comes to R1 500, so I really don’t mind water rationing.”
