The City of Cape Town has advised residents in the Camps Bay, Sea Point and Fresnaye areas to refrain from drinking tap water until further notice.
The City’s Water and Sanitation Department, in
consultation with the City’s Health Department, is investigating complaints
related to an earthy metallic taste in the municipal tap water along the
Atlantic Seaboard
‘’The City has since been strategically
flushing the system, as well as undertaking intensive water sampling to
identify any possible non-compliance.’’ It said in a statement on Thursday.
Mobile standpipes have been installed along
Beach Road this evening for residents to collect water for domestic
consumption, if necessary.
They are located as follows:
• Corner of Arthur’s Road
• Corner of Milton Road
• Corner of Marais Road
• Corner of Norfolk Road
The City advised residents to not boil the tap
water and drink it.
It recommended that affected Capetonians rather
collect water from standpipes provided to be safe.
