An Economic Impact Survey of the water crisis (LINK) has been commissioned by the Western Cape Department of Economic Development and Tourism, has been extended and your urgent response by 02 May 2018 will appreciate. As part of managing and responding to the current water crisis in the Western Cape in a way that minimizes the impacts to its economy, a better understanding of the business response to the crisis, as well as current and potential future impacts of the crisis is needed. Businesses and business associations are, therefore, encouraged to complete the survey. Although not all fields in the survey are compulsory, the more information provided will enable the provision of the most appropriate forms of support. Please distribute the survey to as many businesses and business associations that operate in the Western Cape as possible.
