Nelana, whose only work is a part-time job as a gardenerfor the municipality, has to buy bottled water. "It's expensive forme," she said. City officials have urged all residents to limittheir daily consumption to 50 liters - roughly four toilet flushes.Doing so, they say, will give local government enough time to buildinfrastructure to re-route water from a still-functional dam.Similar water-saving measures helped Cape Town avert catastrophe in2018.
