Rand Water and Johannesburg Water said the shutdown will last from Monday to Wednesday.
Although there won’t be a complete water outage, having some water stored in a bucket might be beneficial, especially during peak maintenance hours in your area.Instead of leaving the tap to run while you brush your teeth and shave, switch it off and reopen it when you need water. This will help save litres of water. If you have a swimming pool, save tap water and use water from the pool to flush toilets.
Using a broom to sweep your yard rather than using a hosepipe can save tens, if not thousands, of litres of water. Baths use way more water than showers, especially if the shower is quick. This tip not only comes in handy on maintenance days, but is also a good long-term water investment for the future. Storing rain water comes in handy at times like this. Like pool water, you can use stored rain water to water your plants and wash your car without using tap water from the system.
