The repair work aims not only to reinforce the structural integrity of the tower, but also to enhance its efficiency.<\/div>\n
Hattingh Bornman<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cBy repairing the tower, we can ensure better water management and decrease the risk of wastage due to leaks or inefficiencies. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis undertaking stands as a testament to the municipality\u2019s commitment to sustainable practices and responsible resource management, ensuring that the tap never runs dry for our residents,\u201d Bornman added. <\/p>\n
Bornman further said water is the lifeblood of Kouga, and requires diligent care and attention, especially in the face of environmental challenges and growing water scarcity concerns.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe municipality urges residents to continue to use water sparingly and implement practices that contribute to the preservation of this invaluable resource,\u201d the mayor concluded. <\/p>\n
