​Dams supplying Cape Town are currently sitting at 81,9% of storage capacity, down 0,4% from last week. Collective water consumption for last week was 616 million litres/day (up from 587 million litres/day).

Although consumption for last week increased quite significantly, by 29 million litres/day, we remain within our daily allocation of 650 million litres/day. It remains to be seen to what degree consumption will increase over the summer months (when consumption traditionally increases significantly), and as such the City is calling on residents to look out for these updates so they can react appropriately as we transition into hotter weather.

The City again thanks all residents who continue to think water during this recovery period for Cape Town’s dams.
