Reports are being received of taps running dry in parts of Port Elizabeth, as the current, sudden water crisis begins to bite.
The crisis was caused by two of the Metro's main supply pipes being damaged in the recent heavy rain, resulting in the supply from the Churchill- and Impofu dams to the metro being interruped.
Listeners have already advised Algoa FM News of taps that are dry in Newton Park, Fernglen, Mount Pleasant and Schauderville, among others.
The municipality says it is extremely concerned that some residents deliberately fill up large containers of water, depleting the supply in the reservoirs at a much faster rate.
They have been asked to consider other people, as the Municipality has issued a call that EVERYbody should conserve water over the next few days.
