Use grey water that you have collected from your laundry, “bucket splash”, dishes or other sources to flush your toilet.
The average dishwashers use as much as 15 liters of water for full wash cycle. Rather use a maximum of litters of water for the kitchen sink.
Watering of gardens is not allowed between 6am and 6pm in summer months. Residents are not allowed to wash paved areas and driveway using hose pipes as per City by-laws.
Residents are urged to report those who do not follow this law on 011 758 9650 and report water and sanitation problems on 011 375 5555.
