The government has asked Eskom to exempt water plants from load-shedding to halt supply disruptions plaguing parts of the country, President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
Water treatment plants, along with hospitals, harbours, railways and other critical infrastructure are supposed to be exempted from load-shedding in terms of national state of disaster regulations promulgated last month.
He noted that some municipalities have set up generators to ensure water pumps continue working during outages to fill reservoirs. “So it is an involved process and fortunately our minister of electricity has taken this on board, it is something that he is also focusing on,” Ramaphosa said.
