Latest: Western Cape dam levels good as cooler weather hits the province

The official dam level stats in the Western Cape remain good as autumn continues with winter on the way.

The six major dams in the Western Cape – the Berg River, Steenbras Lower, Steenberg Upper, Theewaterskloof, Voelvlei and Wemmershoek – were cumulatively UP on a similar period last year.

The City of Cape Town uploaded its latest stats on Monday, 15 April 2024.

The latest figures show the six dams are a combined 64.9% of total storage.

That’s marginally down from 65% the previous week.

A year ago the combined percentage stood at 58.2%.

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 64% of capacity, while the next biggest dam, Voëlvlei (164 095 MI), is at 56.5%.

Western Cape residents need no reminding of life during the ‘Day Zero’ water crisis from mid-2017 to mid-2018.
