Continued good rainfall in the Western Cape has seen dam levels across the province reach their highest levels in four years, with a few exceptions.

“Some major dams are already 100% full while others like Clanwilliam Dam on the West Coast, have reported a second weekly increase of above 20% for the past week,” said MEC of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Anton Bredell.

“Two years ago on 7 August 2017 the average dam level for the province was 28%. The Theewaterskloof dam at that stage was only 22% full. Currently that dam is more than three times that level at 66.5%,” Bredell said. Bredell says despite the good rainfall and increased dam levels, citizens across the province are urged to continue using water sparingly.
