An underwater survey conducted at the Garden Route Dam in George

in May, indicates that the volume of the dam basin is 10 percent more than previously determined in a survey in 1984.

 

With this latest information and after the recent rains, the dam level is now at 45.5%.

 

“This is good news for George, and a welcome change after the low dam levels of the past year,” said George civil and technical services portfolio councillor, Myron Rabinowitz at a press conference on Friday.
