The Polokwane Municipality says most of its reservoirs have been low and some almost empty in the past few days. This has resulted in water shortages in high laying areas within the municipality. The situation got worse on Sunday with some reservoirs drying up. Areas most affected are Seshego, Flora Park, Serala View, Thornhill and some parts of Sterpark and Bendor. Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) indicated that load shedding is contributing to low reservoir levels because they have to stop pumps for two or more hours.
