From November last year, we have been at Level 2 restrictions, and on 1 August this year the City imposed penalty charges on households that use over 20Kl/month (i.e. 20 000 litres or about 660 litres per day).

Dear Melrose residents, As some of you may already be aware, The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has recently launched a mobile application that is capable of logging street maintenance issues with them. It has great functionality in that it allows the user to geotag the location of the fault, send a photo of it and describe the problem, be it a pothole, traffic lights, signage or any other roads related issue. We urge those of you with smart phones to download the app and report street maintenance issues as you find them. To download the app just go to your respective App download facility, search for "JRA Find & Fix" and download it, for free!
