JOHANNESBURG - The Water and Sanitation Department will be sending water to Gauteng.
That's to deal with the current water shortages affecting a number of municipalities.
Minister Senzo Mchunu met with Rand Water, three Gauteng metros and representatives from local municipalities to understand the current water crisis.
Mchunu has committed to temporarily increasing bulk water allocation to Rand Water.
It's hoped the emergency relief will help struggling municipalities dealing with water restrictions and shortages.
