City of Tshwane: Update Water Restrictions Stage 2
18 October 2022
Media Statement – Loadshedding Stage 4 increases the need for water conservation efforts
With Eskom’s announcement this morning of a return to stage 4 load-shedding and the likely impact that will have on Rand Water’s pumping capacity, as well as internal pumping within affected Gauteng Municipalities, we need to again raise a call to residents and businesses.
The City of Tshwane is continuing to experience week-on-week high water consumption by residents and businesses despite the City’s requests to residents to use water sparingly.
Several areas continue to exceed consumption levels,
We appeal to residents in the following areas to reduce their water consumption:
- Akasia
- Constantia
- Ga-Rankuwa
- Garsfontein
- Hatherley
- Kosmosdal
- Laudium
- Mabopane
- Mamelodi
- Pretoria Central
- Soshanguve
Residents are urged to adhere to the stage 2 water restrictions and not to water or irrigate gardens using a hosepipe or irrigation system. Don’t use a hosepipe to clean your driveway, or patio or wash your car and don’t fill or top up swimming pools.
We thank all those who have heeded the call to use water sparingly to continue doing so to ensure that our reservoirs do not run dry.
