The Water and Sanitation Department has beckoned on citizens to limit the way they consume water and also report any leakages or burst pipes
At this time last year, Vaal dam was 62% more full.
But as it stands now, the levels have reduced to a record low of just under 40% this week.
The Water and Sanitation Department has beckoned on citizens to limit the way they consume water and also report any leakages or burst pipes.
Sputnik Ratau from the Water and Sanitation Department said as the situation is now, water must be used with caution which is actually an important factor in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The inflows into the Integrated Vaal River System are much lower than what they were a year ago, which is implies that we could be experiencing some difficulties with the Integrated Vaal River System.”
