WATER DISRUPTIONS IN ROWALLAN PARK, KABEGA AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
Greenbushes reservoir was very low due to the resident's high consumption.
Suspicion is that residents are filling containers due to fear of water cuts over the weekend.
However, no water cuts are anticipated in that area, as long as residents use water sparingly.
We have since augmented the supply and the reservoir is starting to fill up again.
By midday we expect everyone in that area and surroundings to have water.
The Municipality would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.
