For the time being this post wont be updated because the dam levels stable, at least for the time being. If in the future there is a possibility of a water crises I will return to updating our consumption levels.
The intention of this post was to make residents aware of their water consumption in the hope that owners and tenants would take it on themselves to reduce consumption. This proved to be the case when there was a real threat of a "day zero" scenario.

Residents can check for leaks switching off all the water taps and seeing if your meter still turns. Don't try this after showering because the geyser could still be filling.
Residents can monitor their water consumption by reading their own water meters - they are situated in the yard in the general area near the downstairs toilet window. See plan below:
