Dam levels in the Western Cape have dropped to an average of 55%, worse off compared to the same period last year.

Local Government MEC Anton Bredell earlier briefed the media on the drought impact in various municipalities, some whom are implementing strict water restrictions.
The province has expressed concern at the situation in five towns where situation is deteriorating.


Last year this time we were seating at about 65% and as we’re heading now to our warmest and driest season, the depreciation in dam levels is very concerning.
