The Mayor for the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Athol Trollip appealed to residents to use water conservatively, most preferably 50 litres per person per day as opposed to the 60 litres a day set in the current water restrictions.
Trollip said that too much water was being wasted through leaks and around 28,000 households in the city did not have their water measured. The metro was currently seeking a loan to attend to pressure management, meter replacements and the replacement of pipelines.
Day Zero is not only a reality for Cape Town and surrounding areas but could become a reality for the Metro.
Watch the latest footage filmed by Algoa FM showing the harsh reality of the current water situation in the Metro.
