GEORGE NEWS - George Municipality has implemented water throttling as of Friday evening to bolster water reservoir levels with drinking water. Various areas have experienced either low water pressure or in some cases no water.
On Friday morning we had just over 3 hours supply of drinking water in our reservoirs and now have 9 hours of drinking water supply.
Our technical team is pleased with the increase given the extremely hot weather we have experienced over the past two days.
George Municipality would like to thank the residents of George for their assistance in reducing consumption of drinking water.
The system has been opened at full capacity to fill and stabilize the network.
Water trucks continue to circulate throughout Thembalethu until 21:00 tonight.
Please limit fault reporting to water leaks and burst pipes to 044 801 9262/66 or after hours at 044 801 6300, as soon as you notice them.
USE WATER SPARINGLY
George Municipality appeals to the residents of George to USE WATER SPARINGLY and ONLY FOR BASIC NECESSITIES in particular at peak times. Peak times are between 07:00 – 09:00 in the morning, 12:00 to 14:00, and 17:00 to 20:00.
We are asking all residents, businesses (including construction companies), schools, sports facilities to please carefully review their use of drinking water and to make a conscious decision to cut back on wastage, and the unnecessary use of drinking water.
Please use our drinking water sparingly and remember water is a precious commodity.
