Water levels at some of the largest reservoirs in Tshwane are continuing to decline. Despite the call on residents to use water sparingly, reservoirs and systems supplying the east and western areas remain low.

The city is expected to run dry if the supply does not improve. It says this is due to a combination of insufficient supply from Rand Water and high water consumption.

“What I found was exactly what I feared and what we have been cautioning about all week since Rand Water started limiting their supply of water to Tshwane. We have run out of water in several reservoirs, and more and more areas are at risk of running dry so long as water usage remains high,” he said.

“The flow control management system is a system that will ensure that Rand Water will take full control of the water supply. This means we no longer rely on consumers to reduce their consumption … we are monitoring the situation. We are still requesting consumers to use water sparingly and we are in communication with our customers who are in municipalities,” said Maroo.
