NATIONAL NEWS - Western Cape Premier Helen Zille will on Monday meet with national authorities to make plans for day zero.
Zille is scheduled to meet with teams from the National Disaster Management Centre, SAPS and other role players to formulate plans to deal with the aftermath when the city’s taps are turned off.
Officials have indicated that day zero will kick in from 21 April.
This is the day that municipal water to communities will be cut and residents will have to queue at around 200 water distribution points for water.
Authorities are preparing to deal with the consequences of the complete shut down of water supplies to residents.
Level 6B water restrictions, coinciding with punitive water tariffs will be introduced from 1 February to force Capetonians to save more water.
