The Western Cape is experiencing a severe water crisis. Our main supply dam, the Theewaterskloof dam near Villiersdorp, is only 39% full, but only 29% of the water is extractable.
Stellenbosch University (SU) uses non-municipal water from dams, rivers and boreholes for irrigation purposes. This water is used in compliance with a strict quota system.
We urge staff and students to all do their part and adhere to the category 3b water restrictions.
Please report any water leakages to Facilities Management (fmhelpdesk@sun.ac.za; 021 808 4666 or x72 4666) as soon as possible to help us cut down on water wastage.
