South Africa: Komati water scheme launched
March 27, 2013
Saving water at home as important as saving energy
March 29, 2013
Since Sunday, most of the city’s water supply has been cut off because of a broken water pipe.
However, many Grahamstown residents have been struggling with service delivery for years.
In February, almost 40 000 Joza residents went without water for two days. The municipality found a temporary solution in the use of water tanks. These are placed outside various houses and refilled by fire trucks.
Although the water tanks have been welcomed by some residents, others feel that they are simply putting off a more permanent solution to the frequent water cuts. Is it enough, or is it too little, too late?

The installation of water tanks in areas where water outages frequently occur is definitely a good solution. However, the water tanks should be installed in such a way as to enable rainwater harvesting from rooftops. This will ensure that homeowners are not solely dependent on municipal water tankers and they will be able to cope with water outages in the long term too. We recommend JoJo Tanks water tanks and rainwater tanks as well as their other high quality products such as steel tank stands and septic tanks.
