Keep saving water while it rains - Western Cape government
17 July 2017
Cape Town - If you were thinking of wallowing in a nice, deep hot bath because the weekend rain in the Western Cape means there is lots of water, don't do it.
"We must ensure that dam levels recover, so when it starts to rain, consumers should not revert back to using water wastefully," Anton Bredell, the province's Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning said on Monday.
He is still waiting for the final rain figures for the past week to come in, but noted that some areas in the province got a bumper 50mm of rain.
However, the average water level for dams across the province only went up slightly to 25.1% from last week's average of 24.08%.
