While Capetonians have been urged to reduce their water usage to below 87 litres per person daily, three households on average, exceeded 1 000 litres per day. 

This was revealed by City of Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille on Sunday, who said the properties – two in Pinelands and another in Thornton – were singled out for the installation of water management devices.  

“The water usage of these households over the past six months ranged between 19 000 and 48 000 litres per month. This means that, on average, the daily consumption of these households often exceeded 1 000 litres per day.”
