Johannesburg Water on Thursday reminded residents that water restrictions were in full force. Here’s what you can and can’t do.
Fines will be issued to anyone who contravenes the Water Services Bylaw and any other restrictions. Joburg Water said non-compliance can be reported on 011-758-9650.
Under level 1 water restrictions, residents are prohibited from watering gardens between 6 am and 6 pm in summer months (from 1 September to 31 March).
In addition, the washing of paved areas and driveways using hosepipes is prohibited as well.
Burst pipes, leaking water metres and open hydrants must be reported to Johannesburg Water on 011-375-5555, or via SMS on 082-653-2143. Issues can also be reported on Twitter (@JHBWater) or on the website.
Johannesburg Water wishes to remind residents that South Africa is a water-scarce country and urges everyone to save water whenever possible.
