Dam Levels
Rainfall had not been favourable, with very low inflow into dams around the country. On Monday, 22 January 2024, dams were at 57.8% of capacity, compared with 70.8% at the same time the year before. The CEO urged everyone to spread the message that water must be used sparingly, and asked staff to manage company resources with discipline.
