“We have immediately sent our water and sanitation teams to check the system and conduct tests on the quality of water coming out of our supply system. Our repair teams have fixed problems in the sewage reticulation systems in Verster Park and Lanham,” he said.
He said they had conducted water quality tests in Bronkhorstspruit, Zithobeni and Rethabiseng.
Johnston said initial tests indicated the water was clear but more samples were being analysed.
“The good news is preliminary testing shows no E coli has been detected. Once we have the final results, an informed decision will be made, particularly if it is found the water quality does not meet the required standards. We are monitoring the matter closely and will continue to update residents.”
