City’s beaches ready for festive season with world-class water quality
With the festive season fast approaching, Cape Town’s beaches are making waves for all the right reasons, Cape {town} Etc reports. The City of Cape Town has announced that its most popular beaches boast world-class water quality, based on independent water sample analyses.
In a statement, the City revealed that 100% of the 120 water samples collected over the past month met recreational water quality guidelines. Since August 2024, only 2.3% of the 300 samples exceeded acceptable limits, typically due to rainfall or isolated pollution incidents.
‘We’re excited to provide residents and visitors with transparent and up-to-date information on water quality through our new Summer Dashboard, accessible on the City’s website,’ the City said in a statement. The dashboard will deliver weekly updates, detailing the latest enterococci counts – an internationally recognised indicator for water safety.
