Municipality urges residents to use water sparingly
The City has shared tips on what people should do to save water.
ETHEKWINI Municipality has cautioned residents, especially those in the Outer West areas, to use water sparingly. This is as a result of the lower than normal supply of water to these areas. An investigation is currently underway to determine the reason for the decreased supply from Umgeni Water Services.
As the city experiences high temperatures, the demand for water also increases and residents are urged to ensure that they utilise water responsibly.
