Shayi said the trucks were procured to bring relief as some water sources have already dried up due to drought in many parts of the district.
“The crane trucks will enable the district municipality’s technicians to improve on the turnaround time for fixing dysfunctional boreholes across the district municipal area. The 10 water tankers will augment water supply in identified critical areas,” said Shayi.
