Recycled water. Recycled news...

No, they didn't stop any of the drought measures that were in place. So its been an ongoing thing.
THe only thing that was lifted was water restrictions and many parts of the WC kept those restrictions.

maybe they should build desalination plants down here in the Western cape, or is that too expensive?

It isn't that expensive if you are not burning up your infrastructure budget competing with the taxi industry.
