The City of Cape Town says dam levels have increased by zero-point-five per cent to an overall level of 21-point-four per cent due to some rain.
The City has urged residents to continue their water saving efforts, as they don’t know how much rain will fall during the winter months. Stringent water restrictions remain in place. Spokesperson for Acting Mayor Ian Neilson, Piera Abbott, urges continual observation and conservation.
“Our dams are just 0.1% below our water supply level on the same day last year. This is an incredible achievement of water saving by the people of Cape Town, given that the dam levels at the start of the year were at 31% compared to 46% last year. We do know that the majority of our water users are doing their best to lower usage to 50 litres per day to get to the requirement of 450 million litres, but there may be a bit of complacency creeping in. I would like to call on all Capetonians to remain on course with their savings efforts.”
