POLOKWANE – After receiving several queries regarding the water situation in the city, Review spoke to Polokwane Municipality’s spokesperson Matshidiso Mothapo to clarify what is happening.
“There was a challenge with a few stoppages from the plants and I just got confirmation now that all plants are now pumping to Polokwane at full capacity,” he said.
Mothapo said high catchment areas were affected and those in low catchment areas are encouraged to use water sparingly to boost the reservoirs.
He went on further to say that there might be a delay in residences receiving water as the reservoirs must be able to generate enough pressure to push the water to high areas.
