Residents in the deep south, namely, Noordhoek, Simon’s Town, Kommetjie, Ocean View, Masiphumelele and surrounding areas are advised to boil tap water before drinking it or using it to wash fruits and vegetables that will be consumed raw.
According
to the acting mayco member for water and sanitation, Siseko Mbandezi, the water
quality is not compliant with national water quality standards.
He
added that investigations are underway to determine the cause and the affected
pipelines are being flushed and disinfected.
Mbandezi
said further testing will be conducted by the municipality to ensure the
highest and safest quality water is in circulation.
