The City of Tshwane has implemented Level 2 water restrictions in November 2026, introducing higher water tariffs for households that consume more water as pressure increases on Rand Water’s bulk supply system. The restrictions apply to residents, businesses and institutions across the municipality, with residential tariffs reaching R108,01 per kilolitre for consumption between 43 and 60 kilolitres a month. According to the City, the measures are intended to reduce daily water demand by approximately 200 million litres, protect bulk water storage levels and stabilise supply across the metropolitan area.
