Another cold front made landfall on Monday morning, ushering in heavy rains, strong winds and icy temperatures.
The province’s biggest dam was at 99% full this week.
For the first time in years, dams are full.
Back in 2017, there were threats about Day Zero, when taps would run dry in the Mother City. Capetonians were forced to adapt to new lifestyles as strict restrictions were imposed.
Dams in the province are rippling at nearly the 100 percent capacity mark.
The Theewaterskloof and Voelvlei dams have increased by more than 5% in the past week and both dams are more than 80% full this week.
The Western Cape's average dam level has increased to over just over 44%.
Spokesperson for the provincial local government and Environmental Affairs Department, James-Brent Styan said that the province wasn't out of the woods yet.
However, the Water Department said that there were still high-risk municipalities like Beaufort West, Prince Albert, Laingsburg, Kannaland and Mossel Bay.
The city said that 240 dwellings in Strong Yard and in the Constantia informal settlements in Mfuleni, were flooded.
Weekend rainfall will continue to have an impact over the coming weeks, as water continues to flow to dams from catchment areas.
Average dam levels in the Western Cape are nearly double what they were at this time last year.
The South African Weather Service said 86 millimetres of rain fell at Kirstenbosch on Monday. At Jonkershoek the measurement was 53 millimetres.
The City of Cape Town said that it is unable to relax level 3 water restrictions at this stage with the average dam level at 47.5% and collective water consumption at 585 million litres per day.
Residents are being allowed to water their gardens but only after 6pm or before 9am on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, for a maximum of one hour.
Officials say dam levels in the Western Cape are continuously decreasing due to soaring temperatures that trigger high rates of evaporation.
The levels are looking much better compared to the same time last year when levels were sitting at 24%.
The average dam level has decreased by more than a percent in the last week and is currently at 51%.
