The City of Tshwane will fill the reservoirs prior to the planned shutdown. According to
the water utility, the network system will stabilise after two weeks.

The City encourages residents to assist in conserving and using water sparingly by
doing the following:

• Do not water gardens.

• Do not wash cars.
• Do not clean driveways or pavements using hosepipes.
• Do not fill swimming pools.
• Flush toilets only when necessary.
• Close a running tap while brushing teeth.
• Reduce daily water usage as much as possible.

The City of Tshwane sincerely apologises for the inconvenience that may be
encountered as a result of the above-mentioned repairs.
