Ballito firemen caught hosing down trucks and driveway
Despite the water restrictions, the fire department are regularly seen washing trucks with hoses.
KwaDukuza firemen were spotted washing their fire truck and driveway in Ballito Drive this morning.
Siza Water effected stage three water restrictions on Wednesday November 12, in an effort to reduce commercial and residential water consumption by at least 30 percent.
The use of hosepipes are totally banned under current water restrictions as is the washing of buildings and structures.
Washing of vehicles are only allowed through the use of buckets.
The Courier contacted Sembcorp Siza Water and confirmed that the fire department is not exempt from water restrictions.
Sembcorp Siza Water are investigating the source of the water and they will be fined if it is found that they used portable water.
The fire department is allowed to fill their fire trucks with grey water and use that for vehicle and driveway washing.
