Albert Falls Dam, which supplies parts of the eThekwini Metro, has taken a dip from 48.9% to 48.5%.
The department's reported a slight decline of the Umgeni Water Supply System to 74.8%. Compared to the same period last year, the system was slightly lower at 63.5%.
The department's Sputnik Ratau says these changes are normal.
"The decline is expected because we have just moved out of the Winter, which is a dry season and obviously water use continuously even in Winter you would expect there to be a decline.
"But what we are looking forward to is that we should not a very hot summer and rather have more rain so that we can have a recharge of the systems much quicker and in a bigger way than what we are seeing at the moment."
