Beware! Water wastage measures back again!

9 February 2012 18 Comments

Mauritians fellows, I hope that you recently washed your cars as well as watered your lawn or got your windows cleaned recently. As from tomorrow 10th February 2012, the water usage restriction will be applicable once again, as it was previously the case during the period of 5 January 2011 to 24 February 2011.

To remind you, not abiding to these rules has serious consequences. The previously applied Drought Period Regulations 2011 stated the following  :

(a) In the case of a domestic consumer to a fine not exceeding 50,000 rupees and to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.

(b) In any other case to a fine not exceeding 200,000 rupees and to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.

So, till further announcement*, try to keep yourself away from the water hose and just call 202-9946 (between 6am and 8pm) and 170 (after 8pm) to denounce your troublesome neighbor to police for water wastage.

Save water… It doesn’t grow on trees

psst : * = some stupid decision of the authorities when they notice some hours of rainfall[Read post].

    People DON’T waste water. They just don’t know how to use it properly. 

    And SORRY CWA, you can’t blame the whole population if your water management SUCKS big time.

     As most people know, a lot of water is just wasted here by bad management and lack of infrastructure. It is only in recent times that the CWA and the authorities have been seeking expert advice on how to improve the network. I believe they should have consulted the UAE countries because they have expertise on extreme water shortage conditions. Of course the consumer suffers the consequences of bad management. Here waste water is lost and in other countries it is reused after purification process. I also think that the authorities should seriously consider desalination as a backup. However, desalination is an expensive process but I am sure that the EU, China and/or India would be happy to give grants for this development.

    Same question to all other ministers and big wigs of this country: how do they ensure that their cars remain so clean despite the muddy roads we’re blessed with…?

    Sé bien enn fayitt total: okenn mizir gouvernman ki’nn anonsé pa’nn soulaz nou: enn ti rézimé ici

    Saki mo pa contan la-dans, se ki la-lwa la pe ‘presume’ ki TOU dimounn zott lanss alimanté par dilo robiné.
    Si dimounn-la pé pomp dilo lapli ki li’nn ramassé par rain-water harvesting?
    Si li pé resiklé ‘grey-water’ (dilo la-kwizinn, saldébin ek masinn lavé) pou arozé ek lavé?

    Mo trouv ki la-lwa la pa ékitab: sertain dimounn malicié (trassérr) pou contourn la-lwa fasilman parski zott pou dir ki si illégal servi lanss, abé servi séo. Ou-bien, éna ki pou contign kouma avant parski la-poliss pa pareiy partou: a-nou férr enn test: a-apart bann rézion “so” (kott zamé zott kapav rentré san eskortt SMF kouma Cité Barkly, Vallée Pitot, Bassin…) ki ti-flic pou éna fiél capav ampéss (o azar) missié Cehl Fakeemeeah (FSM), mamzel Nita Deerpalsing, missié Monseigneur Piat, missié Krit Manohur (VOH) lav zott loto…?

    Can I be fined for bathing my dog too? :s

  • http://cleverdodo.mu/ Clever Dodo

    Do you know of anyone who’s been fined for wasting water during the drought season?

    Btw there’s a typo in your last line; it should probably read “police for water wastage” but it’s written “police for waster wastage”
