Water Restrictions are necessary to protect our water resources
The George Municipal Section 80 Civil Engineering Services Committee today, 25 January 2022 approved the implementation of Water Restrictions similar to those found in paragraph 2B of the George Municipal Drought Management Policy.
Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee, Cllr Browen Johnson noted that an emergency as contemplated in Section 2(4)(b) of the Water Services By-law to limit or restrict the use of water currently exists in George as the water treatment works cannot meet the current potable water demand and cannot ensure adequate reservoir storage volumes to meet the emergency storage volumes required.
Water restrictions will therefore be implemented in the George Water Distribution and Reticulation network, excluding Uniondale and Haarlem, with immediate effect until further notice.
The immediate measures to be adhered to are as follows:
Gardens may be watered with a handheld hose from 01 June to 31 August during the following period only, i.e. between 17:00 to 19:00:
Mondays and Thursdays for even-numbered households ONLY
Tuesdays and Fridays for uneven numbered households ONLY.
Contraventions of the Water Restrictions can be reported on 0800 424477 and will be followed up by George Municipal Law Enforcement.
Any person who contravenes these restrictions is guilty of an offence and is, upon conviction, liable to a fine as published in the annual tariffs list, or six months imprisonment.
In terms of Section 5 of the By-law, any person may apply in writing for the exemption from the provision of any notice published in terms of the By-law, and the Council may grant an exemption and impose conditions in respect of such an application. The Policy grants permission to the Directorate Civil Engineering Services to approve applications for exemptions.
Application forms for an exemption can be obtained from the office of the Directorate: Civil Engineering Services, Old Town Hall, on the corner of Market and York Streets. Alternatively, applicants can contact Ms G van Niekerk on 044 – 801 9354 / gvanniekerk@george.gov.za to request that a copy of the application form be emailed to them. The Directorate Civil Engineering Services will consider all applications. A written exemption shall be provided where approved.
Report all water leaks to our Civil Engineering Department on 044 801 9262/66 to email an application form.

George Municipality has implemented water throttling as of Friday evening to bolster water reservoir levels with drinking water. Various areas have experienced either low water pressure or in some cases no water. On Friday morning we had just over 3 hours supply of drinking water in our reservoirs and now have 9 hours of drinking water supply.
Our technical team is pleased with the increase given the extremely hot weather we have experienced over the past two days. George Municipality would like to thank the residents of George for their assistance in reducing consumption of drinking water.
The system has been opened at full capacity to fill and stabilize the network.
WATER TRUCKS
Water trucks continue to circulate throughout Thembalethu until 21h00 tonight.
Please limit fault reporting to water leaks and burst pipes to 044 801 9262/66 or after hours at 044 801 6300, as soon as you notice them.
USE WATER SPARINGLY
George Municipality appeals to the residents of George to USE WATER SPARINGLY and ONLY FOR BASIC NECESSITIES in particular at peak times. Peak times are between 07h00 – 09h00 in the morning, 12h00 to 14h00, and 17h00 to 20h00.
We are asking all residents, businesses (including construction companies), schools, sports facilities to please carefully review their use of drinking water and to make a conscious decision to cut back on wastage, and the unnecessary use of drinking water.
Please use our drinking water sparingly and remember water is a precious commodity.
