The City of Joburg is addressing its water crisis by embracing alternative water sources, reducing reliance on Rand Water
In a bid to tackle its water crisis, Johannesburg is set to explore new water sources, moving away from its dependence on Rand Water.The City of Joburg has approved a motion for the city to acquire its water from other sources instead of depending exclusively on Rand Water in a bid to avert the water crisis. This means the city can get water from wells and underground rivers or springs to ease the pressure on Johannesburg Water.
“In recent years, the City of Cape Town was in a water shedding and day zero crisis. The question is should day zero come in the City of Joburg what will we do? What will be our alternative water sources?” ActionSA caucus leader Nombuso Mthembu said the reason they did not support the motion was that there were already experts and researchers who had been doing what was proposed in the council for years.
