Water use rising to pre-drought levels, residents urged to reduce consumption

As water usage continues to climb to pre-drought levels, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has urged residents and businesses to unite behind the City’s proactive water savings target of using less than 850 million litres daily.

<p>The City of Cape Town calls on residents and businesses to use water wisely at all times this summer. The City has set a collective water-wise daily usage target of 850 million litres to mitigate the risk of another below average winter rainfall, and to assist reliability of water supply in light of ongoing load-shedding.</p><p>Sustained high stages of load-shedding impacts the City’s ability to build up reserves in our reservoirs and reticulate drinking water. Residents can help us avoid or limit these risks by using less water this summer.</p><p>‘Capetonians have always stood together, and I’m asking Team Cape Town to again stand as one as we aim to collectively use less than 850 million litres daily. Staying within this target will help us maintain supply during sustained high stages of load-shedding, and put us in a better position next summer if we again have below-average winter rainfall.</p><p>‘The dams supplying Cape Town are losing, on average, about 2% of our total dam capacity per week. This past week we have used 949 million litres daily. This is 99 million litres daily over the collective use target. Cape Town’s dams are still above 50%, but our models show that dam levels will drop below 50% by the end of summer if we don’t meet this proactive water savings target. This may increase the need for water restrictions down the line, which we would ideally want to avoid,’ said Mayor Hill-Lewis.</p><p><strong>What the City is doing to help</strong></p><p><ul><li>The City will continue to reduce water wastage through<strong> programmes</strong> such as leak detection, annual pipe replacement, and pressure management.</li><li>The City is investing in bringing online the <strong>New Water Programme</strong>, which will see an investment of about R5 billion over the next eight years. The City will introduce 300MLD of new water by 2030 from diverse sources that will help protect us from the worst effects of future droughts.</li><li><strong>The Table Mountain Group Aquifer</strong> has already delivered its first water in 2020, and the first groundwater to be injected into the supply network from the Cape Flats Aquifer is expected towards the middle of 2023.</li><li>The City is targeting a <strong>55 billion litre annual reduction of water losses by ramping up alien vegetation clearing</strong>. The City’s R50 million investment in the next two years will be matched by private donations, and is set to up clearing efforts to 9 000 hectares per year from the current 1 250ha in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. <br></li></ul></p><div>‘We believe that reducing our water use now is the responsible step to take, both in terms of load-shedding disruptions, and in case we again have below-average winter rainfall. Capetonians can help by reducing outdoor water use, such as watering gardens, filling or topping up pools, and following the permanent water use regulations. Together we can achieve a water-wise Cape Town!’ said Councillor Siseko Mbandezi, Acting Member of Mayoral Committee for Water and Sanitation.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What can residents do to help?</strong></div><div> </div><div><strong>INDOORS:</strong></div><div>1.<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span><strong>Find and fix leaks.</strong> High water use could mean you have an undetected, expensive leak.</div><div>Check your meter regularly to identify leaks, and get them fixed quickly. See the City’s simple guides to help.</div><div>2.<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span><strong>Don’t flush in a rush. </strong>Only flush when necessary and do not use your toilet as a dustbin.</div><div>New or replaced toilet cisterns may not exceed six litres for each flush.</div><div>3. <strong>Take short, stop-start showers or small baths. </strong>The maximum flow rate of new and replaced showerheads may not exceed seven litres.</div><div>4. <strong>Wash more with less, for laundry and dishes.</strong> Only wash clothes and dishes (pots, cups etc) when really needed.</div><div>Wait for a full load before using washing machines and dishwashers. Hand washing and spot-cleaning can use less water.</div><div>5. <strong> Turn off taps when not using the flow.</strong> E.g. Use a cup for shaving and brushing your teeth.</div><div> </div><div><strong>OUTDOORS:</strong></div><div>6. <strong>Close the hose, when washing the car.</strong> Hosepipes for washing vehicles, boats and caravans must be fitted with an automatic self-closing device. Stop-start your spray as you need it or bucket-wash your car or vehicle.</div><div>7. <strong> Stop-start and slow your spray. </strong>Use a controlling device at the end of the hose, like a sprayer (nozzle) or automatic self-closing device.</div><div>8. <strong>Beat the heat loss. </strong>Only water before 09:00 or after 18:00 to avoid evaporation losses.</div><div>9. <strong>Keep summer fun water wise. </strong>Supervise very careful use of water for children’s play, and cooling in hot summer months. E.g. Use a wet cloth to cool down hot skin, and avoid wasteful spraying of water.</div><div>10. <strong>Swim, cover, save, repeat.</strong> Built-in and fold-away pools must be covered when not in use, to prevent up to 95% of evaporation losses. Recycle the backwash, and top up with rainwater or alternative water where possible.</div><div> </div><div>Regulations about water use in the City’s Water By-law are in place at all times and following these will go a long way towards achieving the target of 850MLD collective use. </div><div><br></div><div>For more information visit: <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family%20and%20home/Residential-utility-services/Residential-water-and-sanitation-services/Saving-water" target="_blank">www.capetown.gov.za/savewater</a> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

City advises of water supply disruptions in various areas- week of 29 January

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing planned work in the identified areas, which will result in water supply disruptions. The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused, but it is imperative that it maintains its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers.

<p><span style="font-weight:700;">W</span><span style="font-weight:700;">hat residents need to know about planned water supply disruptions:</span></p><div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Please keep your taps closed to prevent any water loss and or damage when the water supply is restored.</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure it is being done at a time that is least disruptive to the water supply.</div><div><br><span style="font-weight:700;">Zero-Pressure Tests</span><br></div><div>Zero-pressure testing is part of the installation process for pressure management technology. Tests are done to see if any unmapped inflows need to be considered before installing smart pressure-reducing valves. </div><div> </div><div>Residents who live in the affected areas may experience low water pressure, and some may have no water coming out of their taps during this testing period. It is impossible to predict which areas or streets will experience disruptions. </div><div> </div><div>This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage.

This will require that the water supply to the Dobson and Winslow areas in Gordons Bay be shut off on Tuesday, 31 January between 09:00 and 16:00 to enable the maintenance team to do the work safely. This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight:700;">Planned shutdown of the Blackheath Upper Reservoir water supply</span></div><div>The City needs to urgently repair a leaking 1 525mm diameter pipeline along the Langverwacht Road in Zevenzicht. This will require that a section of the pipeline be shut off to enable the maintenance team to do the repairs safely. Alternate water supply will be rerouted to the affected areas. The work could result in possible disruptions to these areas such as lower than usual water pressure and possible brief discolouration due to the rerouting of water supply.</div><div><br></div><div>The City will shut down the Blackheath Upper Reservoir from Friday, 3 February 2023, at 18:00 until Sunday, 5 February 2023, at 06:00.
