Residents are urged to use water sparingly, the City’s water inspectorate has been conducting inspections at properties around Cape Town to ensure that residents comply with the requirements of the water by-laws:
Cape Town’s water usage recently decreased from over one billion litres per day to 936 million litres a day. Despite this decrease, current usage is still considerably higher than the target of 850 million litres per day, which the public is encouraged to stay under.The aim is to help keep the dam and reservoirs fuller for longer.
“We all use water every day – indoors and outdoors – so we all have the opportunity to save. Let’s all be water wise, particularly outdoors, and comply with schedule 1 of the City’s Water By-law. At this stage, a transgressor can be issued a spot fine each time they are caught in the act of transgressing the by-law, such as not watering at the correct times and the swimming pool not being covered.
