LOAD SHEDDING
The City of Cape Town's website page Load-Shedding Stages and Schedules is updated daily.
Most of Tokai falls into Area 8 except for the eastern most part of the suburb (close to the M3) which falls into Area 11.
Help to reduce the electricity load and risk of load-shedding by switching off all non-essential appliances, including your geyser and pool pump, where possible. Visit www.savingelectricity.org.za for more information.
VOLUNTEER TO JOIN OUR COMMITTEE!!
The TRA is looking for volunteers to assist in the portfolio of Planning. If any Tokai resident is willing to volunteer a couple of hours per week to help in these capacities, please send an e-mail to tra.tokai@gmail.com
LEVEL 1 WATER RESTRICTIONS are currently in place.
Even though our dam levels have increased, rainfall remains well below the long-term average. Protect our water resources by adhering to the CoCT's Water Restrictions and use water sparingly!

For further information on the water crisis, we strongly recommend the following links from the CoCT website. Please click on:
- Keep 5-10 litres of drinking water for the household during rationing. Store in a cool, dark place away from light and dust.
- Keep additional water for pets
- Re-consider water usage during peak water usage times, eg shorter showers during off-peak times.
- Ensure that all taps are closed when not in use to prevent flooding/damage when supply is restored.
- When supply is restored, the water may appear to be cloudy from the pressure reduction exercise. DO NOT WASTE THE INITIAL WATER - store it and use it for flushing.
- NOTE: There may be a build up of air within the water system when supply is restored.
- Use less toilet paper as this requires less water for flushing and prevent blockages. (Consider changing to one-ply.)
- Use Waterless Hand Sanitisers where possible.
- Store excessive municipal water
- WASTE A DROP!
- Shower for more than a minute
- Fall for 'chancers' and thieves who purport to be from the CoCT to install water efficient gadgets in private homes in order to gain access.
- Do Not Drink: Borehole water, Spring water, River/Wetlands water, Greywater.
- Do Not Flush: Sea water
Help save water by reporting water issues (e.g. burst pipes or faulty meters) and Water Restriction offences:

In terms of the CoCT Water By-Law, people who contravene water restrictions could be issued with a fine. Repeat offenders may be summonsed and prosecuted.
Borehole and Well-point Users:
· All boreholes and well-points must be registered with the CoCT and the official CoCT signage must be displayed and clearly visible. Self-designed signs are not acceptable. The official CoCT sign is white, has red writing on it and the registration number is black.
· If sinking a new borehole or well-point, an application must be applied for 14 days before installation and then registered with the CoCT (as above) after installation.
