SANParks has implemented water saving measures in Table Mountain National Park!

South African National Parks (SANParks) has implemented water saving measures at picnic areas in Cape Town's Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). The picnic areas include Bordtjiesdrift and Buffelsbay in Cape Point, Boulders as well as Tokai, Silvermine and Oudekraal. SANParks will continue to monitor the situation with regards to the water crisis and take necessary measures as required.

Some of the measures are:

• Waterless hand sanitation products, especially in the toilet facilities in Cape Point.
• A reduction in the number of outdoor taps at picnic sites
• The immediate closure of all outdoor shower facilities at picnic sites and coastal beaches
• Visitors, especially those that are using the picnic sites, are encouraged to bring water from home
• SANPArks encourages picnic site users, especially those wishing to braai, to ensure that they don’t leave fires unattended and put their fires out once they have finished braaiing.
• Park users are encouraged to report leaking taps, pipes etc in the park to the closest TMNP office.
