Not the worst idea at all. At least you'll have some idea of what life is going to be like after Day Zero
"So, rather than waiting helplessly for the City to carry out a rehearsal, Capetonians should take responsibility for conducting their own Day Zero rehearsals. For instance:
- Go out and buy as many 25 litre water containers as there are members in your household (and some spares);
- Shut off your property’s water supply at the incoming municipal main, and only open it once each day to fill the water containers where you park your car;
- Either carry or use a delivery trolley to take the containers inside, or organise someone strong to assist you;
- From there, experiment with various methods of decanting and distributing water to different parts of your home by means of more manageable 5 or 10 litre water containers; and
- Condition the members of your household to get by on their respective daily quotas of water.
- By running your own rehearsals for your home and/or your business before Day Zero actually arrives, you will be better positioned than most to deal with the days, weeks and potentially even months of hardship that will follow."
