Trouble brewing for homeowners in the Western Cape

• Homeowners in the Western Cape could soon face water restrictions as the region enters another El Niño cycle.
• The region will become increasingly dry, while El Niño could worsen the situation by bringing higher-than-normal summer temperatures and compounding the effects of inadequate winter rainfall.
• Residents are being asked to reduce their water consumption by 10% to mitigate the risk of water shortages during the holiday season.
