Water and Sanitation: Cape Town facing summer water restrictions

Water restrictions may be in the pipeline after the City of Cape Town recorded a lower than average rainfall, the municipality said on Wednesday. It said the six major dams which supply
Cape Town and the surrounding region were at about 74% full. While this was not "critically low", it was lower than the average over the last 20 years. The City said in a statement that it would
meet with national government to discuss possible restrictions.
