City of Cape Town approves Level 4 water restrictions
31 May 2017
Cape Town - The City of Cape Town on Wednesday approved Level 4 water restrictions, which limits residents to 100l of water per person per day.
It also bans all use of municipal water for outside and non-essential use. The restrictions come into effect from Thursday.
Mayor Patricia de Lille warned that she had asked council to support further restrictions, 4B, that can be implemented in the next 60 days.
This level would be more closely aligned with a 500 million litre per day goal, and be based on daily demand and supply, with no more public pools and spray pools, and water purely for drinking, cooking and washing.
