NATIONAL NEWS - With tougher water restrictions in place in the Mother City, water guzzlers can now expect to pay hefty fines of up to R10,000.
The City of Cape Town announced the implementation of level five water restrictions on Sunday.
The emphasis is on capping domestic use and placing additional restrictions on the commercial sector.
With dam levels at 25%, city bosses are taking a no-nonsense approach.
They want Capetonians to cut their household water consumption even further.
The aim is to drop the daily water consumption in the Cape metro to below 500 million litres.
