9.WATER RESTRICTIONS
Due to the 2016/2017 drought that Cape Town is currently experiencing, the Municipality has rolled out a plan to save as much drinking water as possible. Some of the methods include limiting each person to 50 litres of water per day, throttling the flow of water to properties as well as randomly (and without any prior warning) shutting off supplies of water to properties completely for a couple of hours. We have supplied containers inside the properties to have some water for drinking available during these periods. Please note that we will not issue any refunds due to this inconvenience, and we also ask you to assist us in adhering to these water restrictions as our guests. You will find more information on how to do it inside the property.
