Cape Town water supplies will last until August - city official
25 May 2017
Cape Town - The City of Cape Town has enough water to last until August or September at current consumption levels, an official has said.
Any rainfall in the coming weeks would change this projection, but there was "significant uncertainty" over the rain forecast for June and July, mayoral committee member for water and waste services Xanthea Limberg said in written replies sent to News24 on Wednesday.
Rainfall during April and May had been disappointing.
"As such, saving as much water as possible remains key in case our water reserves have to be stretched over summer 2017/18," she said.
