Extra water tankers have been called in to supply more water since the severe heatwave hit Pretoria last week.
DA ward councillor Bronwyn Engelbrecht said on Sunday, that she had called in the assistance of three extra water tankers.
Engelbrecht said the five tankers were located in various areas in the east of Pretoria.
These tankers can be located on the corner of Pat Dyer and Emus Erasmus avenues (Erasmusrand), Polaris and Koedoesnek avenues (Waterkloof Ridge x2), Neptune and Michelle streets (Waterkloof Ridge), Matroosberg and Sterlitzia roads (Waterkloof Heights) and Matroosberg and Nodela streets (Waterkloof Heights).
This comes after the Tshwane metro effected water restrictions on Friday.
Metro spokesperson Selby Bokaba said in a press statement the restrictions had to be effected due to the severe heatwave. He said the high demand for water resulted in reservoirs across the metro to operate from a very low level. This had slowed down the pace at which the reservoirs filled up.
He said the restrictions will remain until further notice.
Sinoville residents were up in arms on Sunday, after a burst water pipe caused thousands of gallons of water to run down Zambesi Drive.
A Sinoville resident said Pretoria had been placed on water restrictions while water was allowed to flow freely down the road.
