POLOKWANE – This was announced this morning during a press conference held by the Municipal Manager, Dikgape Makobe, who said the aim of the water-shedding process is to supply water in equal amounts to higher lying areas, in which residents often go without water for weeks on end as reservoir levels remain low.
The water-shedding will apply to urban and rural areas in the Polokwane precinct.
Water supply will be cut off from 20:00 to 04:00 every day to enable reservoir levels to be replenished.
Residents in high-lying areas will have water at around 06:00 and then again in the evenings for basic household use.

Ward councillors will explain the necessity of these steps to residents in their wards.
