The City’s Directorate of Water says even though dams are now filled to capacity, strategies remain in place to further boost the Mother City’s future water security.
The Directorate says through the Cape Town water strategy, it recently managed to augment the city’s water supply, now feeding up to 15-million liters of ground water from the Table Mountain Group Aquifer.
Mayco-member, Xanthea Limberg, says a permanent desalination plant will also be built, which is set to deliver an estimated 50-million litres of water per day.
Limberg says the desalination plant is set to be operational by 2026.
