The section between Muizenberg Pavilion and Sunrise Beach has been reopened to the public.
This section of beach, which reopened on Friday, was closed
as a precautionary measure on Monday, following an electrical failure at a
nearby sewer pump station, impacting on the mouth of the Zandvlei.
‘’The City continuously monitored the water quality since
the closure, and can confirm that the latest water samples are within the
minimum requirement for recreational activities as determined by the National
Water Quality Guidelines. As such, the section of beach has been reopened and
the signage removed,’’ said Mayco member for community services and health,
Patricia van der Ross.
‘’The issue at the pump station was resolved on the same
day (on Monday), and it has been operating normally since then. However, City
Health advised at the time that the beach be closed in the vicinity of the
Zandvlei mouth as a precautionary measure until such time as the samples are
within the required levels,’’ she added.
