The Western Cape will head into the festive season and the new hydrological year without provincial water restrictions, despite steadily declining dam levels and rising pressure on several towns along the Garden Route.
The Department of Water and Sanitation DWS made the announcement on Monday following the province's Annual Operating Analysis earlier this month, as per News24 .
Speaking on behalf of the department, Ntombizanele Bila-Mupariwa confirmed that no water restrictions will be implemented for the hydrological year 2025/26, a decision shaped by system-wide modelling and current storage trends.
