Gauteng residents have been urged to comply with the stage 2 water restrictions to avoid their taps from running dry.
Early in October Rand Water gave notice to Gauteng residents to reduce water usage and they ask residents to;

Only flush toilets when necessary

Flush with greywater

Take short, stop-start showers

Use cups for brushing teeth and shaving rather than free-flowing taps

Catch shower water to use when flushing toilets

Only wash what is absolutely necessary

Only wash full loads of washing and dishwashers

Clean outdoor surfaces with a broom rather than a hosepipe

Do not use municipal drinking water for pools, ponds, or water features

Cover pools to restrict water evaporation.
