Use water sparingly
The Department calls on residents to refrain from flushing toilets “unless it is necessary to do so”, adding that this one small step “could assist to save many litres of water”.
“In the same vein, the department wishes to reiterate that when washing cars water users must refrain from using hosepipes but rather use buckets. This is especially the case for businesses such as car washes”.
