Cape Town Residents Still Urged To Make Water-Wise Decisions Despite Full Dams
since the heavy rains filled them up almost to capacity.
We might be holed up inside lamenting the cold weather, but at least we have water. The only thing is, we should still sometimes let the yellow mellow, persuade ourselves to do the dishes by hand and reuse bath and shower water whenever possible.Cape Town ETC “Our water resilience is important for our residents and for economic growth in Cape Town. We want to thank our residents for contributing to building our water-future be it from paying their water bills to making water-wise decisions in their daily lives,” said Badroodien.
The fixed basic charge helps to cover the operational cost associated with the establishment of major infrastructure catchment and treatment of water, operation of the distribution systems as well as repairs and maintenance of infrastructure: Cape Town has learnt with climate change that we cannot solely rely on dams for water security in the future. This is why the city is investing in its New Water Programme , which includes projects such as desalination, groundwater schemes and reuse.
