Campaign to promote water saving
Community drives a save Water campaign in eSikhaleni
EVERY drop of water is precious.
That was the strong message at the save water campaign at the uMkhobose area in eSikhaleni on Wednesday.
Headed by ward 16 Councillor Thami Phahla, the aim was to educate the community about the importance of water and tips how to save it.
‘We must ensure our people understand its significance. Without it there is no life, that’s why it is our responsibility to monitor it so we won’t run out,’ said Phahla.
Involved in the campaign were community volunteers, government officials as well as representatives of the city’s Water and Sanitation Department.
‘Most people think because of the rain we have had in the last couple of month, the drought is now over. That’s a misconception, there is still not enough water and the rain is not sufficient,’ said Water and Sanitation Customer Service Manager Thobeka Dlamini.
Officials also pleaded with the community to report water leakages to help save water.
They were also supplied with buckets to store water from the municipality’s tanks around the area.
