Why water alerts matter for local work
Water outages affect dignity, health, and the ability to work. Knowing what is happening in your area helps you plan around disruptions before they cost you time or money.
Who is responsible?
Municipalities deliver water and sanitation services. Contact your local municipality first when you have a service interruption.
Free basic water
Government provides free basic services to poor households where available. If you are not receiving this, contact your ward councillor.
Report and coordinate
Community alerts help others avoid unsafe or disrupted areas. Use the forum and community status page to coordinate updates instead of repeating the same report across channels.
