🌊 **Clean Water Flows Again in Hammanskraal!** 🌟

After 20 years without reliable access to clean tap water, Hammanskraal residents are finally seeing the return of safe drinking water! 💧👏 This major milestone has been achieved through a phased restoration project by the City of Tshwane, with full completion expected by mid-2025.

🏘️ As part of this progress, the City has announced that water billing will resume for residents. Mayor Nasiphi Moya emphasized the importance of revenue collection to maintain and improve services. For those facing financial challenges, the City offers an indigent policy programme to assist with payments. 💸✨

📢 Hammanskraal residents are encouraged to register for assistance if needed and participate in upcoming community meetings to stay informed about water services and the new billing system.

This is a step toward a brighter, more sustainable future for the community! 🌈
