I am sure the tens of thousands of other customers of Manila Water, the East Zone water concessionaire, are having similar problems. Not surprisingly, the water shortage has also resulted in a sudden scramble to buy water containers as well. I pause for a while and decide that I will take a bath now before the water supply runs out. In the end, this water shortage should leave us an invaluable lesson – we really should use water wisely. At the time, there was a water shortage in the sun-stippled port city which is is touted as the French Riviera of South Africa.
