The five major dams serving the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro are now at a combined level of 89% of capacity, according to the latest readings from the municipality.
Last week, the dams were at a combined level of 90.4% and a warning was issued that the level was dropping by 1.5% a week.
The drop to below 90% comes as both the municipality and the Department of Water Affairs ex-pressed concern that they're entering a dry cycle.
They say the situation is being exacerbated by an increase in consumption.
