Level 2 Water Restrictions Notice

At a Council meeting held on 25 February 2026, the Stellenbosch Municipal Council addressed the need for precautionary water measures. Following consideration of current dam levels, weather patterns and projected supply, Council approved the implementation of Level 2 Water Restrictions in terms of the Municipality’s Water Services By-law, 2017.

This decision is in line with advice and proposals from the Provincial Government, as well as similar precautionary measures already introduced by several neighbouring and nearby municipalities. It is a proactive step aimed at safeguarding our shared water resources and ensuring long-term security of supply.

The implementation of Level 2 restrictions is a responsible and measured intervention to manage demand early and avoid more severe measures later.

The Level 2 Water Restrictions will take effect from 1 March 2026 and remain in place until further notice.
