A new water saving project, an initiative by the Provincial Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, will now be extended to ten more schools in Cape Town.
The projects will be able to save between 15% to 35% of a school’s water bill.
The project, which involves fitting water efficient adaptors onto taps, showers and toilets at schools and hostels, will be extended to ten other schools with high water consumption in Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha.
MEC for Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Pierre Uys, said promising results were achieved at the first three schools which have hostels, namely Laingsburg High School, Teske Primary School in Beaufort West and Bridgton Secondary School in Oudtshoorn, where the device was installed.
