The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has cautiously welcomed the overall increase of dam levels which have doubled capacity from 23.01% in the beginning of June to 42.53% currently.
This increase has seen the biggest supply dam, Impofu increasing from a mere 6.97% to 14.57% currently.
The Metro has also been encouraged by the decrease in consumption that has been seen in the last two weeks of July.
From the 24 to 28 July 2023, water consumption decreased from between 280 to 300 mega litres per day to 241 mega litres, surpassing the required consumption level by just 11 mega litres.
Under the current water restrictions, Nelson Mandela Bay is expected to consume 230 mega litres. Major storage dams supplying the Metro Dam levels as at Thursday, 3 August 2023 can be seen HERE: NMB Dam Levels
The overall combined dam levels currently sit at 42.53 %.
The Metro would like to call on residents to continue saving water by making it a lifestyle issue, rather than an enforcement matter.
