Due to reduction of supply from Churchill dam, Bay water users will start to experience intermittent water supply. However, to compensate, the Metro will provide water supply through temporary measures with standpipe collection points, rainwater tanks, and water tankers. 9 communal water collection sites will be activated to operate 24hrs a day. This arrangement may start from Saturday the 25th of June, and is estimated to persist for a minimum of seven days.
Residents in the low-lying areas, on the east of the Bay are urged to use water sparingly so that there is sufficient supply to share with affected areas. If a resident is not sure, they can visit www.baywatersavers.co.za or send Water via WhatsApp to 064 744 7721 to download the latest list of affected areas.
