Water levels in North West declined from 76.2 percent last week to 75 percent this week, while Boskop Dam near Potchefstroom is the only large dam that improved from 100.4 percent to 100.5 percent.

Some of the dams that have recorded a drop this week include Marico Bosveld Dam from 91.3% last week to 90.8%, Molatedi from 46.8% to 45.6%, Madikwe from 65.1% to 64.2%, Olifantsnek from 43% to 41.8%; Koster from 47.6% to 46.9% and Taung from 95.5% to 94.6%.

The other dams that remain unchanged from last week were Disaneng Dam at 64.9%, Setumo Dam at 48.5% and Ngotwane Dam at 51.2%.The department of water and sanitation appealed to all water users to use water sparingly and adhere to water restriction imposed by their local municipalities. South Africa remains a water scarce country, therefore the available water must be conserved by all means necessary.

Department spokesperson Sputnik Ratau, said people need to fix leaking taps and pipes and further report other leakages to their local municipalities. "We need to fix leakages immediately to avoid water loses as we cannot afford to lose more water that we could have saved. The department also has a toll-free line where people can report any leakages and the vandalism of water infrastructure. The number is 0800 200 200," Ratau said.
