I'm not sure I follow - what does it mean when you don't use water discreetly? Standing in the street, flagrantly drinking a glass of water? Singing opera at the top of your voice in the shower? Are we meant to only turn on the taps when nobody's watching?

I think they mean with discretion... standard two education is shining through here.

Well Fsk him.
I will not be showering discreetly. I'll be using the outside shower, and flashing the neighbour.

I'll give you an example - five times this year alone, having the mains on the street outside your house pissing water 30m into the air from any time of day and on through the night. So, from their side, discreet my ass.

OFFICIALS MUST UP THEIR GAME: DUARTE
The water shortages in Gauteng showed how officials needed to improve their performance, said ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte, Eyewitness News reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, Duarte said the water shortages were a concern for the African National Congress.
"Worries about the metro city are that we just need it to jack up its game," Duarte told the broadcaster.
"It's got to get over this thing of the billing system and the water problems and Johannesburg electricity."
With municipal managers and CEOs earning a lot of money, they were expected to do their jobs.
"I am certainly behind pushing the municipal managers and the chief executive officers (CEOS), who earn quite a lot of money, to do their jobs," she said.
The deputy secretary general said technicians needed to have access to CEOs when machinery failed to function, reported Eyewitness News.
On Tuesday, there were reports that some residents in the north and west of Johannesburg were still without water.
Rand Water urged affected residents to contact the utility's hotline.
By Monday night, water had been restored to all affected areas, spokesman Justice Mohale said.

Well how do you think Farmers survive? We use water from the borehole for everything. If you are worried about dirty water get a water filter for drinking and cooking. and boil the water to kill any unwanted guests.

HOSTILE RECEPTION FOR DA WATER CAMPAIGN
DA parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane was booed on Wednesday when he tried to address Tsakane, East Rand, residents during a water delivery campaign.
A group of people in ANC T-shirts booed him, chanting "go away", and burnt a Democratic Alliance T-shirt.
"Go away, we do not want you DA," they shouted. Police intervened and separated supporters of the two parties.
When Maimane tried to address the crowd African National Congress supporters began singing.
Speaking to reporters Maimane said the ANC had forgotten about the people and was spreading political intolerance.
"What is criminal about bringing water?" he asked, referring to the two water tankers he had brought along.
"We are bringing water for the community. As a responsible citizen I cannot sit back when the people are suffering. Water Minister Nomvula Mokonyane has promised to address this issue, what has she done?"
A group of women shouted at Maimane, asking him where he had been in the past three weeks when taps ran dry.
"Where have you been? Why are you coming now?" they asked.
ANC ward councillor Silas Thabo Letsimo said it was not necessary for the DA to bring water tankers.
"The municipality is delivering water daily here," he said.
"The water problem is under control. This tanker has been here since the morning. If it runs dry another truck is sent to deliver water."
He said the DA wanted to portray him as a non-caring councillor. Parts of Gauteng experienced severe water shortages in past weeks, which Mokonyane blamed on a "technical glitch" and the theft of electricity cables which kept water supply flowing.

I would have loved to have had the cops use a water cannon.
