Water scarcity requires temporary disconnection of public beach showers

Due to ongoing severe water demand management measures, all public showers at municipal beaches and public swimming pools in George have been temporarily disconnected with immediate effect. This intervention has the full support of WESSA with regard to the Blue Flag beaches.

As part of the Municipality’s water-saving interventions, flow restrictors have been installed at all public beach facilities for some time. These devices reduce the volume of water released by limiting the flow rate, helping to conserve water while still allowing basic use. The current severe water demand management measures in place however, require additional action to protect the municipal drinking water supply.

Residents and visitors are urged to use water sparingly and responsibly at all times. If you notice a tap dripping or a shower running unnecessarily — whether at a gym, at home or any public facility — please take a moment to switch it off or report it. George Municipality thanks residents, businesses and visitors for their continued cooperation, understanding and commitment to saving water during this challenging period.

Every Drop Counts.
