For two days straight, the catchment areas of the seven lakes that supply water to the city received little to no rainfall. Their combined water stock was 37.77 per cent on Wednesday morning. Civic officials believe the water situation is still not normal.

This week began amid continuous showers in catchment areas. On Sunday, thanks to heavy downpours, the water stock rose by 77,849 million litres. But, the intensity of rainfall has been low since Tuesday.
