Heavy rains to rescue dam levels? LIZEKA TANDWA
N
elson Mandela Metropole residents could breathe a sigh of relief as SA Weather Services say the heavy rains this week are expected to boost the levels of dams supplying the metro with water. The levels of these dams have been dwindling, with water restrictions expected in October. Port Elizabeth SA Weather Service (SAWS) spokesperson, Garth Sampson, said although last weekend’s rainfall did not reach the catchment areas, some of the heavy
rains expected in the region until today, would reach most of the catchment areas relieving the dam levels. According to media reports over the weekend, the Municipality would have introduced water restrictions as from yesterday. The municipality indicated that “the restrictions would ensure that they had an adequate water supply, before the predicted 2015 drought, over which the Department of Water and Sanitation has issued warnings.” Nelson Mandela Metropole Municipal spokesperson, Mthubanzi Mniki, said although they were encouraged by the rainfall
this week, communities still needed to conserve water to prolong the Metro’s water resources. “By Monday the rain in the major catchment areas had not been significant.” Mniki spoke these words of caution against the backdrop of below average rainfall predictions up to February 2015. “Residents must also note that we are entering a period of high water consumption and therefore the reduction of water consumption is important.” Commenting on possible water restrictions scheduled from today, Mniki said the
proposed water restrictions have not yet been approved by Council. Mniki said the fixing of leakages, which is costing the Municipality millions of rands, was currently under way. Additional contracts were also being put into place to reduce leakages. )Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Standing Committee Chairperson for Safety and Security Thembinkosi Mafana issued a stern warning that motorists would be arrested if they vandalized or removed road signs intended to protect the public from harm during flooding.
