Despite the recent rains, the water levels remain critical for the City of Cape Town.

Dam levels are now at 22.8% for storage levels, which is 0.6% down from a week ago.

With the last 10% of a dam's water mostly not being useable, dam levels are effectively at 12.3%, the City said on Tuesday.

The City calls on residents to maintain their savings efforts as the latest consumption is 680 million litres, which is 80 million litres over the new consumption target of 600 million litres.
