The De Bos Dam level is currently at 77.4%. Last year, on 18 January 2025, the dam level stood at 91.9%.
We are once again appealing to all residents, businesses, and institutions to take water saving seriously and to fix and report any water leaks.
While each household’s water usage may seem insignificant on its own, together it makes a big difference. Responsible water use now will help keep our dams stable for longer.
