Severe drought continues to tighten its grip in the Nelson Mandela Bay metro, with dam levels critically low, at a combined capacity of 17.55%.
The main dams, Kouga and Impofu, have not been full since November 2015, while the city continues to see high-water usage that exceeds the current water supply.
NMB is restricted by the Department of Water and Sanitation to extract 268 million litres a day only, but it  currently uses about 300 million litres a day.
