Teams will check the GIS mapping system to determine which properties have a swimming pool and those residents will be visited to ensure that their swimming pool has an appropriate cover. City officials will be wearing City attire (hat and CoCT branded T-shirt) and will carry their official City identity tag with them.&#8221; Residents can verify this by contacting the City&#8217;s call centre on 0860 103 089.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for Water and Sanitation, urged residents &#8220;to work together to reduce non-essential outdoor water use and remain below the 975 million litres per day usage target.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-water-installations\">New water installations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On further questions by <em>TygerBurger <\/em>Badroodien said the City implemented proactive annual inspection schedules that cover all areas within its jurisdiction. In addition, water inspectors conduct inspections on new or altered water installations in line with approved building plans submitted to the City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Inspections are not based on a single fixed consumption threshold. The current programme forms part of the City\u2019s broader water management efforts, to sensitise and continue to advocate and encourage residents to use water wisely and efficiently at all times, particularly as dam levels are lower compared to the same period in previous years.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Badroodien both residential and business properties will be inspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-attachment-id=\"305407\"
