The Kouga Municipality informed residents earlier today,
June 24, that due to excessive high-water usage, it is estimated that the Churchill
Dam which supplies water to Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp and The Greater St Francis
Area, will run dry by Sunday, June 26.
The municipality has requested that water usage be cut back
immediately to avoid taps running dry.
Current dam levels posted on the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
website earlier today are as follows, Kouga 12.96%, Churchill 8.4%, Impofu
10.27%, Groendal 21.34% and Loerie 39.16%.
The combined total of the dams is 12.01%.
The municipality has therefore reminded residents to adhere
to the 25l per person per day water usage.
Report water leaks to 042 200 2200 or WhatsApp 081 760
9183.
