After the famous and frightening “Day Zero” of 2018, no limits are in place today, and in early 2026 the city also lifted its preventive Early Drought Caution notice<\/strong>. The risk of summer restrictions has passed, although conserving water, for example by taking shorter showers, remains basic courtesy in Cape Town<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
