This according to a statement from the Department of Water and Sanitation, who encourage residents to use water sparingly.
The province’s average dam levels are at 78,0% this week, with a slight decline when compared to last week’s 78,2%.
“A considerable improvement compared to 59, 1% last year,” read the statement.
Looking at the summary of the Water Management Area (WMA) for Limpopo, last year this time it was at 66,5% whereas now we are at 89,4%, with Oliphant’s WMA this year at 74,3% compared to last year’s 54,1%.

In relation to the provincial storage, the situation is still satisfying, but the province still needs to continue to implement water restrictions to allow for smooth recovery.
Water is a scarce resource and catalytic towards economic development and it must therefore be conserved at all times.
