Bathurst Regional Council announced on Tuesday that the dam's current level was at 33.5 per cent, up from 30.3 per cent the previous week.
The increase in the dam total comes after Bathurst received 37.8 millimetres of rain last Thursday and another 25 millimetres between Friday and Sunday.
However, a red level alert remains in place for the dam, meaning there's no water related recreational activities allowed at the dam.
Water restrictions remain at an extreme level, with watering only permitted before 10am or after 4pm on Sundays and Wednesdays only.
Watering can only take place for a maximum of 30 minutes water running time using buckets or watering cans.
