The latest official dam level stats in the Western Cape show that cumulatively the six major dams in the province are just under 100% of capacity.
The sun has made its appearance in recent weeks, bringing some warmer weather.
The six major dams in the Western Cape – the Berg River, Steenbras Lower, Steenberg Upper, Theewaterskloof, Voelvlei and Wemmershoek – all saw significant increases during the winter months.
Down on last year
The City of Cape Town uploaded its latest stats on Tuesday, 5 November.
The latest figures show the six dams are a combined 99.4% of total storage.
That’s marginally up from the 99.3% the previous week.
The current levels are also up on the same period a year ago when the combined percentage stood at 99.2%.
Theewaterskloof, which accounts for more than 50% of the province’s total dam capacity (480 188 MI of a total of 898 221 MI) is at 99.5% of capacity, while the next biggest dam, Voëlvlei (164 095 MI), is at 100.5%.
Western Cape residents need no reminding of life during the ‘Day Zero’ water crisis from mid-2017 to mid-2018.
