SANParks helps to solve water crisis

Update

KNYSNA NEWS - SANParks has deployed two fire trucks to support the Knysna Municipality in its response to the ongoing water crisis affecting the area.

"This proactive measure forms part of SANParks’ ongoing commitment to community support and intergovernmental collaboration, especially during times of emergency," SANParks said.

The fire trucks, stationed in the Garden Route National Park, have been made available to assist with water distribution and relief efforts as part of the broader municipal response.

Knysna Municipality activated a joint operations centre (JOC) on 14 May to co-ordinate multi-agency efforts to overcome the water supply challenges in the Greater Knysna area.

"While SANParks is not part of the JOC, it is working with the municipality to support both the response efforts and residents," SANParks said.

"SANParks remains in communication with local authorities and will continue to assess the situation [and will] provide additional support where feasible."
