The Water and Sanitation Department says that dam levels are continuing to show a steady decline week-on-week. The department is appealing to all South Africans to use water sparingly.

The Department is on the verge to implement Level 3 water restrictions which include the banning of using hosepipes and sprinklers.

Spokesperson Sputnik Ratau says the department will continue to monitor all 211 dams on a weekly basis, adding that the seasonal outlook for rain is not looking promising
