South African Water Supply Firm Urges Johannesburg Residents to Urgently Reduce Water Usage
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The water supply company of South Africa's biggest city, Johannesburg Water, on Monday called on city residents to urgently start saving water as the water supply system is under great pressure due to increasing water consumption.
South African water supply company of the country's city, Johannesburg Water said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it is appealing to customers to urgently reduce water usage as Rand Water’s Eikenhof System is under severe strain.
