Water Update – Cape Town dam levels stable at 77,2%
Dams supplying the Cape Metro increased by 4,5% over the past week (13 July – 19 July 2020) to 77,2% of total capacity.
Consumption for the same period increased by 8 million litres per day to an average of 657 million litres per day, compared to 649 million litres per day the week before.
At the same time last year, dam levels stood at 61,8%.
“The consistent increase in our dam levels over recent weeks is a big relief considering the relatively dry start to winter 2020. Although rainfall is still tracking at below the historical average, continued low water consumption means that at this stage our outlook for 2020/21 is looking quite positive.
