Why is Cape Town’s tap water discoloured and is it safe to drink?
Residents have been advised to be cautious after the City of Cape Town received reports of discoloured tap water from various parts of the metro, Cape {town} Etc reports.
In a statement, the CoCT said that the temporary discolouration was caused by preventive maintenance on the bulk water network, which necessitated shutting down parts of the system to allow for repairs.
The system has now been successfully recommissioned. Residents are advised to boil their water before consuming if it seems discoloured.
