The Western Cape Department of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning said the other major dams are all above 90%.

CAPE TOWN - Cape Town's biggest feeder dam Theewaterskloof is over 57% full.

That is up from 28% at this time last year.

The Western Cape Department of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning said the other major dams are all above 90%.

Spokesperson James-Brent Styan says the province's average dam level has increased to 65%, from over 30% a year ago.

“The 65% at the moment is a good base to work from. We want to continue to call on people to use water as sparingly as possible even though matters might have been improved in the environment where you might find yourself in [because] we want to ensure that we don’t fall back into potentially water wastage habits.”

In October last year, the province’s dam levels were sitting at 36%.

The Cape Town system average is over 75%, up from 37% a year ago.

As of Monday, the City of Cape Town drops to Level 5 water restrictions from Level 6B.
