“Since restrictions were announced, the municipality has widely advertised and raised awareness regarding water restrictions, but has so far seen minimal reduction in water usage. We make an urgent appeal to all water users in the George area to use water sparingly and spread the news and urgency of the matter to everyone. The city’s water security is a very serious matter, as we have already witnessed in other places around our province and country. We want to avoid a crisis as well as financial implications to our ratepayers, but will have no choice but to enforce Section 2C restrictions if trends persist and the dam level drops to below 45%,” said Mr Botha. “ Na gundura da raguna hadayun ƙonawa , da kitsen kiyayayyu ; ban ji daɗin jinin shanu ba , ko na ’ yan raguna , ko na bunsurai . . . .
