RAND WATER LIFTS WATER RESTRICTIONS

Following the high water consumption brought about by the high temperatures and subsequent
restrictions, reservoir levels in Rand Water systems have stabilised and increased from 30% to
above 60% currently. Stabilisation of the systems, assisted by good rains, has been a joint and
collaborative effort by Rand Water and the three (3) Metros.
Rand Water will therefore lift the water restrictions, effective immediately. In consultation with the
Metros, a philosophy has been agreed to which will ensure that best water management practices
are left in place to ensure that systems are kept stable throughout the coming hot months.
Through these collaborative efforts, the Metros have managed to reduce consumption and
manage own systems effectively and efficiently. Therefore, reduced consumption and leak repairs
will be the new order, Rand Water in a statement said today.
