The City of Cape Town says it will reassess water tariffs soon.
After some much-needed rainfall and an upward trend for a number of weeks, dams supplying the Cape Town metro have declined by 0.3% last week to 81.6%.
“We acknowledge residents’ calls to lower water tariffs. This will be reassessed at a meeting of all users of the Western Cape Water Supply System around November this year,” said the City’s Xanthea Limberg.
“But fuller dams do not necessarily mean we are out of the woods yet.
“This winter we have again received lower than average rainfall (so far), and as such the City plans to maintain current level 1 water restrictions and tariffs for the moment.”
