The Department of Water and Sanitation DWS has issued a precautionary advisory after six major dams in the Western Cape recorded lower levels compared to the same period last year.
Just last week, the department noted that water levels had declined by between 2 and 4, a development officials say should be monitored closely.
The warning comes as part of a broader effort to prevent a repeat of Cape Town's 2018 Day Zero water crisis, when the city faced an unprecedented risk of running out of water.
