City says no water restrictions for residents
City Vision
|January 22, 2026
Cape Town residents can breathe easy this summer as there will be no water restrictions during the coming months.
The announcement comes after many people questioned why the City didn’t put water limits in place before the busy December holidays whilst there was severe pressure on water supply.
Mayco member for water and sanitation, Zahid Badroodien said the decision isn’t actually made by Cape Town's city council. Instead, the National Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has the power to decide when water restrictions are needed.
Last November, government experts took a close look at the city’s water situation and concluded that Cape Town has enough water to get through the 2025/2026 hydrological year without any restrictions, says Badroodien.
