Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the "Mey Avivim" water corporation announced on Sunday that water usage in the city will be reduced due to the shutdown of desalination plants. The restrictions will affect non-essential water sources, including garden irrigation, shower usage, and water taps at beaches.

The decision comes as a result of the ongoing disruption at the national desalination facilities, which are a primary source of fresh water for Israel. The municipality stated that these measures are necessary to conserve water resources and ensure a stable supply for essential needs.

Further details regarding the specific duration of the restrictions and the exact extent of the limitations are expected to be released by the authorities soon. Residents are urged to be mindful of their water consumption during this period.
