The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) says the Western Cape Water Supply System remains stable despite recording lower storage levels.
The provincial head of the department, Ntombizanele Bila-Mupariwa, says that this is due to lower consumption.
She says that the latest data shows that the system stands at 44.5 percent, down from the almost 60 percent mark at the same time last year.
Bila-Mupariwa says that the City of Cape Town has remained within its allocated supply.
She says that continued water-use efficiency by consumers has also contributed positively to overall system stability.
Bila-Mupariwa says that they’ll continue to monitor dam levels and will review the situation ahead of the Winter rainfall season.
