Garden Route Dam level update

GEORGE NEWS - The latest water update, supplied by George Municipality:

Dam level: 100%
Estimated level at new dam wall height: 88,7% (up from 88,5%)
Rainfall since 21 October 2021: 37mm
Demand/usage: 31,314 megalitres (down from 33,496 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.

Report water leaks and burst pipes to 044 801 9262/66 or after hours at 044 801 6300, as soon as you notice them.

Section 2B water restrictions for George have been lifted by Council on 25 March 2021, but implemented for Uniondale.
