Well for a start, the council are not gaining many friends by blaming us residents for using 'potable water' for watering our pathetically dying gardens, when they've known about this oncoming crisis for years and done absolutely nothing to increase the supply through solar powered desalination plants or tapping into the aquifers. It is extremely galling to go just up the road to Hermanus and find they've been doing the latter for years and don't have a problem! It's getting to the point where the only good thing to say about the DA government is that 'they aren't the ANC' as they've dropped the ball completely. Fair enough, government employees the world over are never the sharpest knives in the drawer, but they really have stuffed up here, when you might have hoped they'd have been a bit brighter. We're in Level 4 restrictions now, which basically means each of us can only use a hundred litres of water a day. Ridiculous. And no rain on the horizon. And El Niño looms once again.
