Water restrictions for Tshwane
13 September 2016
Pretoria - The City of Tshwane on Tuesday implemented water restrictions as the country continued to deal with the effects of drought.
Infrastructure MMC Darryl Moss told the media that the Department of Water and Sanitation had published a notice stating that drawing water from the Integrated Vaal River System should be limited.
"The city of Tshwane is therefore obliged to comply with the notice and reduce its water consumption by 25%," Moss said.
"We receive 72% of our bulk water from Rand Water, but we also source 28% of our water from our own treatment plants and boreholes."
