Município de George revoga tarifas emergenciais de água e flexibiliza restrições

O Município de George, na província do Cabo Ocidental, na África do Sul, revogou as tarifas emergenciais de água e reduziu as restrições do nível 2D para o nível 2B após a melhora nos níveis das represas.

O município anunciou as mudanças na quinta-feira, depois que a Represa Garden Route subiu de 46% para quase 89% em duas semanas devido às fortes chuvas. A Represa Haarlem atingiu sua capacidade total de 100%.

A prefeita Browen Johnson celebrou a medida, mas pediu aos moradores que evitem retomar hábitos de desperdício de água.

A decisão ocorre após chuvas generalizadas em toda a região, que aumentaram significativamente os níveis de armazenamento.
