The proposal to reduce water shedding by 24 hours was made by the city’s future water supplies and water action committee on Tuesday after considering the inflows into the city’s supply dams.
Speaking during a full council meeting at the Council Chambers, the city fathers said they were going to review water shedding depending on the improved inflows in the city’s supply dams.

“We would like to thank the residents for their resilience in this difficult period. We will continue to review water supply if inflows improve.”
