Off course the various water sources must be opened to the public, it’s the most sensible solution especially in the middle of a water crises which is looking more like a management crises right now.
I believe that Mr Rawoot created a positive and beneficial resource for the community and the city should recognise it and not try dismantle a good thing after they realised that they failed by not planning accordingly
Everyone should have access to the spring. The City needs to stop looking after the wealthy and entitled residents, especially in light of apartheid era systematic exclusion. While on the topic, we should also talk about water rights from those days - SA Breweries still gets water for spring water for mahala
Some pure springs should be open directly to public. Other impure springs should be pumped to Molteno or Newlands dams for purification before pumped into reticulation system
These springs are a public resource, and the collection of water is a social, historical act. Both aspects must be preserved.
Water was collected for decades. Now it's a money spinner.
Open the springs!!! It is a basic right to natural drinking water !!We have Policiticians who have access to these natural springs. While they are poisoning our people with Flouride into our drinking water.

I am sick and tired because the City of Cape Town wants to privatize our water. This must end. The water belongs to the people!
