Although restrictions have been eased, residents are urged to continue using water sparingly and to avoid unnecessary wastage, particularly as forecasts from the South African Weather Service still indicate the possibility of below-average rainfall during the coming winter months.
The municipality cautioned that, should dam levels decline again as a result of prolonged below-average rainfall, stricter water restrictions and emergency water tariffs may need to be reintroduced in accordance with Council-approved policy and tariff structures.
