Investigation underway into discoloured municipal water

Mogale City Local Municipality’s Water Services Division is aware of discoloured tap water in some parts of the city.

Areas which are mainly affected are Monument, the CBD and areas in Krugersdorp North.

A technical team is currently investigating the cause behind the discolouration and is working to urgently resolve the problem.

According to specialists from the water division who tracks the quality of drinking water, the brown colour in the water is mostly caused by sediments that accumulate and settle in the reservoirs and supply networks. In the meantime, residents are encouraged to not drink municipal water until investigations are concluded.
