Cape Town – The average level for dams in the Western Cape has increased to 45.9% – with the Clanwilliam Dam seeing an increase of close to 10% in the past week – and heavy rains this week will boost the dams even more.
Anton Bredell, the Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning MEC, said in a statement on Monday the provincial dam levels are improving week on week, with more heavy rain predicted later this week. "The storm is predicted to bring heavy rain and strong, damaging winds to large parts of the province. In addition, very cold conditions are expected in the province, including snowfall over the mountains. These conditions are expected to continue to Saturday.” On the weekend of 27 and 28 June, the City’s Roads and Stormwater teams, under trying circumstances, attended to 148 callouts as a result of a storm.
