“Stage 2 water restrictions also bring into effect the implementation of level 2 water tariffs as per the city’s approved 2022/23 financial year water tariffs,” it said. “In order to avoid reservoirs running dry, resulting in water shortages and subsequent water supply interruptions, the City of Tshwane urges all residents to assist by decreasing their water consumption and to use water sparingly.”
