Rand Water would like to appeal to consumers to use water sparingly as it has noticed an increase in water demand due to high temperatures. As a result, the water storage in its reservoirs has been rapidly declining.

The situation was compounded by the fact that there were multiple power supply failures to the Rand Water systems at the weekend (13 – 15 January 2023). Currently, the organisation is monitoring the water demand to protect the integrity of its systems.

If water consumption continues to increase Rand Water will be compelled to implement water supply restrictions. Rand Water has formally requested its customers to monitor water consumption in their respective areas.

Rand Water is urging ALL consumers to use water sparingly to circumvent any water restrictions.
