City urges Cape Town residents to store emergency water

The City of Cape Town has advised residents to keep an emergency supply of 2 to 5 litres of water as it starts further pressure reduction which may interrupt supply to some high lying areas. ''Residents are advised that supply interruptions are now more likely due to intensified water pressure reduction measures,'' said the city’s mayoral committee member for informal settlements water, and waste services; and energy, Xanthea Limberg.
