POLOKWANE – Dam levels in Limpopo are satisfactory as the call for water users to avoid wasting water and adhere to water restrictions imposed by their respective municipalities continues.
The province’s dam levels are at 77.4% this week, an improvement of 0.04 from last week and a considerable improvement when compared to 54.6% last year this time.
The Polokwane Water Supply Systems is at 65.4%, a slight improvement from last week’s 64.8%, a considerable improvement when compared with last year’s 40.1%.
The Luvuvhu Water Supply Systems have improved a lot this year, sitting at 98.4% this week compared to 60.2% this time last year.
In relation to the provincial storage, even though the water levels are still in a higher percentage, the department says the province still needs to continue to implement water restrictions so that reliable water provision is sustained until the rainy seasons.
“Water is a scarce resource and catalytic towards economic development and it must therefore be conserved at all times,” it concluded.
