Dramatic Drop in Impofu Dam Levels

Readers of MyPE will know that I have a bit of an obsession about the dam levels and faithfully check them at least three times a day (for the last 6 years or so).

Imagine my surprise (horror) when I was presented yesterday with the figures below for the Impofu Dam:

Of course being the somewhat fair media person that I am I immediately asked for clarity on the percentages reported via the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality WhatsApp media group.

Luckily I have learned to NOT hold my breath when asking for clarity from our so-called communications department as they NEVER answer any of my questions.

So I decided to wait until today before updating the MyPE Dam Levels.

What did I see? The Impofu Dam Levels are still being reported as 0.1720231229 %

Gee whizz people – we change Mayors faster in Nelson Mandela Bay!
