GEORGE NEWS - The latest water update, supplied by George Municipality:
- Dam level: 100%

- Rainfall since 14 October 2021: 11,5mm
- Demand/usage: 33,496 megalitres (up from 27,736 megalitres)
(Please note the 100% dam level indication is based on the spillway and dam wall height before it was raised, the latter is the new unofficial estimation based on preliminary calculations ahead of re-callibration of the dam.)
Re-calibration has commenced and is dependent on several factors. Adjusted official readings will be implemented and reported once new capacity has been confirmed, the time period of this is unknown.
