Petition for reliable water in the Free State
Sign this petition calling for Free State residents to have sufficient supply of clean water.
17 of the 19 local municipalities in the Free State recorded water interruptions in some form which includes but is not limited to:
- Chemical shortage problem to purify the water.
- Water cut off to 30%.
- Water illegally cut off so residents don’t have supply.
- Water shedding, sometimes twice a day and without notice.
- Water off for days at a time, sometimes weeks at a time.
- Water infrastructure works that cut off the supply for extended times with no notice given.
- Water infrastructure projects that don’t solve the problem and cost more than they should.
- Water is off days at a time because there is no transport for staff to turn on certain pumps.
- Insufficient water infrastructure to cater to all residents’ water needs.
- Dirty water that is physically yellow/brown in colour, has not been tested in five years, or has PHI levels seven times higher than what it should be.
The following Free State municipalities have experienced one or more of these issues: Mangaung, Matjhabeng, Dihlabeng, Nketoana, Mantsopa, Setsoto, Maluti-a-Phofung, Phumelela, Ngwathe, Mafube, Moqhaka, Nala, Masilonyana, Tswelopele, Tokologo, Letsemeng, and Kopanong Municipality.
Show your support by signing this petition.
The DA will fight for residents like you to have access to sufficient supply of clean water by taking this petition to the Free State premier and to the National Council of Provinces.
Government must address these inhumane misconducts!
