A reminder of Level-1 water restrictions in the City of Johannesburg
Yesterday, Tuesday 01 November 2022, our bulk supplier Rand Water announced lifting of
stage-2 water restrictions. Stabilisation of the systems, assisted by good rains, has been a
joint and collaborative effort by Rand Water and the municipalities
Johannesburg Water encourages residents of the City of Johannesburg to continue reducing
consumption, and to observe level-1 water restrictions implemented every year from 1
September to 31 March. Level-1 water restrictions prohibits the use of hosepipes between 6
am and 6 pm and the use of hosepipes for paved areas and driveways. This is to ensure that
systems are kept stable throughout the coming summer months.
Water saving tips:

• Re-use grey water to water your garden,
• Harvest rainwater.
