The South African Weather Service (Saws) has warned of showery and cooler weather conditions over parts of the south coast and adjacent interior of the Western Cape from today, Wednesday, to Friday.
Meanwhile, the provincial Department of Local Government and Environmental Affairs said that the latest average level for dams in the Western Cape is 81.7%. This is a continued improvement on the average level exactly a year ago, when dams stood at 79.1%.
Limberg said that daily water consumption for the same period decreased to 750 million litres a day from 756 million litres the week before. “Cape Town is located in a water-scarce region, and our climate is proving increasingly unpredictable.” Limberg said with dams now full, some consumers may question whether water tariffs could be lowered to pre-drought levels, when all households received six kilolitres of water a month, free of charge.
