In order to address future water constraints, various augmentation schemes have been introduced or planned. Augmentation schemes include potable water reuse (from wastewater treatment works), groundwater development (new resources and artificial recharge), and large-scale permanent seawater desalination.

To date, the CoCT augments its surface water with 7 Mℓ /day from groundwater and springs. This is likely to rise by 40 Mℓ /day from the recently commissioned Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer when it is fully operational. Other phased augmentation schemes will contribute a total of 240 Mℓ /day by 2026.

To date, the CoCT supplies 75 M ℓ /day of treated effluent from its wastewater treatment works to 950 registered users, mainly farmers and businesses, through a 277 km permanent pipeline connection. This supply network will be extended to 938 km in the next 10 to 15 years.
