The Mayor threatened to shut off #water to #homes and #businesses, a doomsday scenario branded as #Day Zero.


In the mountains east of the city, just beyond the curving road up Sir Lowry’s Pass, workers maneuver heavy machinery to stab at the ground near Steenbras Dam, drilling deeply with steel pipes to bring forth water.
They are trying to tap into the Table Mountain Group aquifer, which holds water in a vast lattice of narrow rock fractures beneath the Cape Fold mountains that ring the city. Cape Town has eyed the aquifer as a water source for nearly two decades, but plans were accelerated during a three-year drought in which reservoirs shriveled to the point that Mayor Patricia De Lille threatened to shut off water to homes and businesses, a doomsday scenario branded as Day Zero
Water is precious. Recycle & re-use waste water.
