The province\u2019s water supply remains at low levels as a result of the drought that continues to affect large parts of KZN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cIn honour the World Water Week, which is an important moment when we reflect on the importance of water and how we utilise it. We are appealing to all residents in the province to continue to use water sparingly. Water is a scarce resource and conserving water is a responsibility that we all share,\u201d said Hlomuka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Currently, in the province the average water levels in dams are 56.7%, which indicates that KZN is in a critical but stable place in terms of its water provision.\u00a0Last week the uThukela district implemented water restrictions following the critical drop in water levels in the Klip River water catchment area. This means that the town of Ladysmith and surrounding areas will be undergoing water rationing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Hlomuka has also appealed to residents to ensure that children are educated about the importance of saving water. He has also appealed to communities to report all water leaks to the relevant authorities. \u201cOur province continues to lose millions of litres of water a day as a result of leaks. In the fight to preserve water, every drop counts. It is our responsibility to report water leaks,\u201d added Hlomuka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:
