JOHANNESBURG – The Department of Water and Sanitation has expressed concern about the current use of water in the country.

He said that while the water levels are not unusual for this time of year, the dams are losing water faster than expected.

However, spokesperson Sputnik Ratau said that water restrictions were not yet on the cards: “It might take some kind of consideration to work together with municipalities and water boards to see if we can continue until it rains without imposing any. restriction. At the moment, we are aware that some municipalities are imposing localized restrictions. The national provincial or departmental level has not reached that decision to impose restrictions ”.
