Water consumption across Cape Town increased last week to 642 million litres/day, but we still remain within our daily allocation of 650 million litres/day.

Dams supplying Cape Town are currently sitting at 81,3% of storage capacity, down 0,6%. Collective water consumption for last week was up by 26 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 be on the lookout 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.
