The City of Cape Town admits that due to climate change, this city cannot solely rely on dams for water security in the future.

They're currently 97% full on average, while at this time last year, dam levels only stood at just over 72%.

City Mayco member for Water and Sanitation, Zahid Badroodien: "While we appreciate the heavy rain that has been filling our dams, we cannot allow this to give us a false sense of water security for the future. We need more than just dams to ensure our water supply is resilient for years to come as clearly highlighted by our customers during the drought, to help navigate future climate shocks.

"The city is making every effort to ensure that its plans to bring an extra daily 300 million litres of water online by 2030 progresses as best as possible."
