Dam Levels as at 11 July 2011 – Time to Throw the Ratepayers a Bone

With the average capacity now standing at 87.8% only a mad masochistic dictator would continue to deny the beleaguered ratepayers some form of concession around the water restrictions.

Our ‘normal rainfall months’ are still to come this year so with that in mind it would be prudent to give some form of concession methinks.

Major Storage Dams supplying the Metro levels as at 11 July 2011 (Capacity – Volume of water):

• Kouga: 100% – 125 910 Ml
• Churchill: 97,1% – 34 229
• Impofu: 68,4% – 72 351
• Loerie: 99,6% – 3 015
• Groendal: 100% – 11 640
• Average all: 87,8 %  of total combined capacity (247 145 Ml).
