Residents of the JB Marks Local Municipality are experiencing water shortages due to low levels at the Eersterandjies Reservoirs. The local municipality has confirmed that this situation is particularly affecting high-lying areas, including Extension 11, where water supply disruptions have been reported.

According to a public notice issued by the municipality’s Communication Unit, the water levels at Eersterandjies have dropped significantly, leading to interruptions in distribution. In response, the municipality has deployed water tankers to affected areas as a temporary relief measure while efforts to restore reservoir levels continue.

While the exact cause of the drop in water levels has not been disclosed in detail, factors such as increased demand, infrastructure issues, or climate-related changes could be contributing to the problem. Residents are urged to use water sparingly and report any issues with tanker deliveries to local authorities.

Stay Informed

As the JB Marks Municipality continues its efforts to restore water levels, residents are urged to remain vigilant, conserve water, and stay informed about further developments. The municipality encourages affected individuals to report urgent water supply issues and tanker shortages.
