On point 4 - my understanding is that the poorest areas (which are at most risk of disease outbreaks) will not have their water cut. Rather, everyone else will have their water cut first while some water still remains in the dams, which is specifically allocated for those areas and will last long enough until the mid-year rain. I last read this a while ago though, so things may have changed.

Yes, this was mentioned today in the news on one of the radio stations. It went like "the poorer communities that rely on communal taps, will not have their water cut, because they already collect water at those taps".

This is sadly a travesty coming.
