Dams across the Western Cape continue to see good increases thanks to continued rainfall across the largest parts of the province.
Cape Town – Dams across the Western Cape continue to see steady increases due to continued rainfall across the largest parts of the province.
Total capacity of dams supplying the Cape Town metro increased for the week of August 24-30, 2020, a 2.7% rise from the 88% of the previous week. “However, residents should please keep in mind that the impact of climate change in subsequent years is still uncertain and that this will also be factored into the eventual decision around restrictions,” Limberg said.
“Currently, the City of Cape Town is selling approximately 30% less water than before the drought, but is facing additional costs that come with increasing our resilience. It is important that the City cover its costs to ensure that the maintenance and augmentation programmes can be carried out.
