Thanks to the climate change, anyway, Cape Town will be probably only the first major city in the world to experience such disaster, but sadly it will not be the last.
The city of Cape Town, like any other city and/or nation will face the same issues in future, is working towards find new sources of water with the help of both technology and big public projects, but the water issue isn't and can't be only a government level issue, and we all needs to change our mind on how we use a such precious resource at all levels, even as private citizens.
