The City of Tshwane has rolled out the ThibaDiLeaks campaign, targeting areas like Mamelodi, Nellmapius, and Moreletapark to curb water losses.
The initiative has already yielded positive results, with dozens of pipe leaks repaired, meters fixed, sewer blockages cleared, and illegal connections removed.
To ensure sustainability, two dedicated repair teams will focus on key wards, supported by advanced technologies such as pressure-monitoring sensors, valve replacements, and soft-start protocols.
Additionally, a new digital dashboard will track water consumption and losses, enabling the city to manage resources more efficiently and meet national water conservation objectives.
