The Western Cape government has urged residents to continue using water sparingly even though major dam levels are high after good winter rains.
The average
dam levels for the province stand at 81%.
Local
Government Spokesperson, James-Brent Styan says the dams feeding the City of
Cape Town are now 98% full. The Clanwilliam Dam is at 99% and Theewaterskloof
at 100%
He said they
are very grateful that they’ve had two good seasons of good rainfall. And are
fortunate to be heading into the holiday season with the major dams quite full.
He added
This doesn’t mean that they can get complacent, so they continue to urge consumers
and the public to use water sparingly. As It is a scarce resource that will
remain under pressure moving forward
