text: Be  very careful of unintended consequences with water loadshedding and pressure games!
  
  In the industrial complexes on the Cape Flats the pressure was gone months ago.  Water pressure was 0.7 bar : not enough to rinse urinals.   Not a big deal, but also not enough pressure to charge up the fire sprinkler system...
  
  Responsible businesses have put up very big water tanks as buffer and their own surface pumps to charge the fire system.   At my place we have 500,000 liter buffer capacity in case municipal supply cannot keep up with fire fighting.   Ironically we are located on the Berg River which is now not even a stream because all our catchment is going to Cape Town.
  
  When people die in fires or lots of property is destroyed,  Cape Town will be at the receiving end of some big law suits for its gross incompetence.
