Despite recent rains in the Garden Route, Knysna Municipality is still asking all residents to make an effort to use water wisely, implement conservation measures and adhere to municipal water restrictions. “Our consumption is still high and it is vital that our consumption is curbed so that our water reserves can be replenished,” says Knysna Executive Mayor Georlene Wolmarans. Although we have seen some positive results due to our Water Awareness Campaign, as a town Knysna has not reached our consumption target of 8 megalitres per day, which includes the 2 megalitre allocation for business use. This equates to 85 litres per person per day,” “We have seen better results in Sedgefield, with consumption at 2 megalitres per day, while the target is 1.9 megalitres. A big thumbs-up to residents of Sedgefield for coming together and showing us all what can be done.”
