The Municipality wishes to reassure residents that its water is safe to drink and complies with all set standards. This follows concerns after the recent outbreak of Shigella (bacteria that manifests in gastro-enteritis), mainly in the KwaZakhele area. In addition to practising and maintaining the nationally set standards for water purity, the Municipality also recently increased the chlorine dosage in the Metro\u2019s drinking water.<\/p>\n
This is standard practice every year when warmer weather arises. No link could be established between the outbreak of the Shigella and the quality of drinking water in the Metro. However, the Municipality is monitoring the situation on a continual basis and again wishes to reassure residents that there is no cause for concern and that the Metro\u2019s drinking water is safe.<\/p>\n
