Cape Town’s collective water consumption for the past week increased by three million litres to 585 million litres per day of collective usage.

According to the City’s records dams were at 20% of storage capacity at the same time in 2018 and at 23,3% of storage capacity in 2017.

Although we are in a much improved position due to higher dam levels and reduced demand compared to 2017 levels, we encourage residents to continue to use water wisely. Level 3 restrictions remain in place to aid dam recovery.
