Gauteng residents urged to reduce water consumption

The Water and Sanitation Department has called on Gauteng consumers to significantly cut back on their water usage due to a two month planned shutdown of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project tunnel system.

The tunnel will be shut for inspection and maintenance. It is being shut down in order for us to do an inspection and maintenance where necessary.

“This is something that has to happen after so many years, between 7-10 years, it has to be looked into so that we know and do not get caught out if anything goes wrong”, said department spokesperson Sputnik Ratau.

The department said while water supply will not be interrupted, it is important that residents use water sparingly.

“We have taken precautionary measures that will ensure that the amount of water needed for the two months has come through”, added Ratau.
