The municipality of Casablanca has decided this Wednesday to prohibit any use resulting in water waste.

The commune banned the use of day-watering whether for private or public green spaces, washing vehicles, engines, avenues, streets, public spaces, and others, especially with drinking water or high-pressure water jets.

It has also prohibited the use of fire hoses for water supply as well as water spraying on public roads and spaces.

The commune of Casablanca made clear, in a statement, that any act that does not comply with these guidelines aimed to save water use will be sanctioned.

This move comes as part of the government’s strategy to reduce the massive use of this vital resource, in light of drought and lack of rainfall in the country.
