CoCT says sufficient dam levels don't provide sense of water security

CAPE TOWN - The City of Cape Town says its sufficient dam levels don't provide a sense of water security following the threat of Day Zero in 2018.

The municipality said it would continue investment in water projects such as desalination.

Cape Town city bosses said they aim to provide a resilient, water-secure future for residents, adding that they are working towards increasing water supply by an extra 300 million litres of water every day by 2030.

These are among the plans in the city's long-term water strategy to reduce Cape Town's dependence on rainfall.

The administration believes this is a measure that will also assist the city in the face of climate change and the possibility of future droughts.
