The City of Cape Town says its dam levels have increased slightly but so has water consumption.
While there has been a slight increase in dam levels of 0.5% to an overall level of 21.4% as a result of some rainfall and lower evaporation rates the City is urging resident to continue to stretch the remaining water in the City’s dams. “We simply do not know how much rain we will receive over the winter months.” The City’s collective consumption over the past week was 554 million litres of water per day. This was a 6.7% increase from consumption of 519 million litres last week. “It places Cape Town 104 million litres above the usage target of 450 million litres per day that the National Department of Water and Sanitation has set as a requirement,” the City notes.What else to read
