Shebeen Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Maybe Shebeen should post his little graph again on the water usage on Argus day. If you do the math on how many liters of water the event & the people doing it actually use then cancelling it would not even extend day zero by a few minutes. There are things we as a community in Cape Town can do that can actually help us avoid day zero, cancelling CTCT is not one of them. This one?! Amazing to see how we're actually using much less than this time last year! Jase619 and Long Wheel Base 2
Shebeen Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that the hub will also be shut down on day zero. Admin drinks coffee when the hub is running.coffee requires water Every little bit helps. Halfdoesyn, Long Wheel Base, DJR and 1 other 4
Pure Savage Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 Wait, so the oomie on suikerbosie won’t sprinkle me with his hose pipe this year? Ag nie man!!

Wannabe Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I heard on good authority that upwards of 76mm of rain fell in the Caledon area this week. Is that not part of the catchment area of one of the dams (not sure which one now)Surely that will help the situation a bit? Meezo 1

Carmichael Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 On the cape town building saga.. my wife also works there and was also told that if day zero comes they will close office and it is not due to aircon, it is fire regs. There will be no pressure in the fire water supplies so it will be a fire and health and safety hazard. Karman de Lange and DJR 2
mrcg Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 18.5mm forecast for the next 10 day period...every little bit is nice....BUT everybody should change and just use natural resources carefully and save all the time, even when it is abundant. Mindless consumerism is just stoopid. Pulse, Pure Savage and DJR 3

Mindless consumerism is just stoopid.As a city we have been using waaay too much, hopefully there is a proper mindset change with day zero and we can keep this up going forward. DJR 1
mrcg Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Oh the 18.5mm refers to the TWK area. Seems it is raining all around CT, just not much in it.Last weekend Attakwas has some nice rain....

Meezo Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 65mm is a lot of rain. I see a news24 article says a 100mm storm in 2005 saved us from drought before Hopeful and Praying Pure Savage and Eddy Gordo 2
