The metro urges residents to use water sparingly during heatwave conditions which are expected to last until the end of the week.<\/p>\n
The metro\u2019s water reservoirs might be running low due to high water demand and evaporation from dams that are exposed to the sun.<\/p>
Some parts of the metro might also experience low water pressure due to low water levels in storage containers.<\/p>\n
While the heatwave lasts, residents are requested to take the following steps:<\/p>
\u2022 To use water sparingly.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Not to water gardens during the day.<\/p>\n
\u2022 To avoid filling swimming pools during the day.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Not to use a hosepipe when washing cars.<\/p>\n
To avoid heatstroke, residents should stay out of direct sunlight and congested places where air ventilation is minimal.<\/p>\n
Cases of no water or water shortage should be reported to the metro.<\/p>\n
