says it will further apply flow management to its reservoirs to ensure that it takes full control of water supply and no longer relies on consumers to reduce consumption across the municipalities.
In a statement on Friday, the water utility said the matter of high-water consumption and various calls for municipalities to act brought forth this decision.“There are approximately 17 million people in municipalities supplied by Rand Water. On average, water consumption in Gauteng per person per day is over 300 litres against a world’s average of 173 litres per person per day.
“Despite this, water consumption continues to rise, and reservoirs’ levels continue to decrease because of even higher water usage.”
