<\/P>
Dams that supply Cape Town have declined by 1,1% over the past week to 52,2% of storage capacity.<\/P>
<\/P>
On the upside, the City of Cape Town’s collective water consumption for the past week dropped to 605 million litres per day.<\/P>
<\/P>
The decline in consumption is testament to our residents’ water-wise behaviour and great savings efforts.<\/P>
<\/P>
Capetonians have done well to remain within the target of 650 million litres of collective usage per day. This will help the City’s dams to recover and build a solid foundation for a more water-sensitive City in years to come.<\/P>
<\/P>
Residents are reminded that Level 3 water restrictions are in place which includes the following, among others:<\/P>
<\/P>
Daily usage of 105 litres per person per day in total irrespective of whether you are at home, work or elsewhere<\/P>
Washing of vehicles, trailers, caravans and boats with municipal drinking water is only allowed if using a bucket. Washing with non-drinking water or cleaning with waterless products or dry steam-cleaning processes is strongly encouraged<\/P>
You are encouraged to flush toilets with greywater, rainwater or other non-drinking water<\/P>
No watering\/irrigation with municipal drinking water within 48 hours of rainfall that provides adequate saturation<\/P>
