The Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWSS) is sitting at 100%, based on the latest hydrological report, and the Klipberg and Keerom dams have increased by over 5% since last week.
This is the second straight fall in the level. Two weeks ago, the dams decreased by 0.8%, down from 101.8% the week before.
However, the levels are still higher than they were a year ago. Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, said that in 2020 at the same time dam levels were at 98%. Local Government and Environmental Affairs MEC Anton Bredell said the province continued to track ahead of last year’s levels.
