Rand Water implements stage 3 water restrictions in Tshwane

Rand Water has placed some parts of Tshwane on stage 3 water restrictions under regions 1, 3 and 4.

The City will be placed on stage 3 water restrictions in an effort to save the distribution network from collapsing following a drop in its reservoir water levels

It further urged residents within the City of Tshwane‘s jurisdiction to reduce their water consumption.

“Tshwane would also like to remind residents that the water restrictions that were imposed previously in line with the water supply by-laws were never withdrawn and are therefore still applicable,” Tshwane said in a statement on Wednesday.
