POLOKWANE – The Polokwane Municipality has confirmed reports of discoloured water affecting certain households in Seshego, particularly around the Third House area in Zone 2.

Municipal spokesperson Thipa Selala said the municipality has implemented precautionary measures to protect public health and ensure the integrity of the water supply.

“These measures include expanding the water sampling network, confirming the quality of the source water, intensifying technical investigations and isolating affected sections of the distribution network where necessary,” Selala said.

Residents in the affected areas have been strongly advised not to use the discoloured water as a safety precaution until laboratory results from collected samples have been finalised and communicated.

In the meantime, water tankers will be deployed to provide temporary relief to residents in Seshego.

Selala said the municipality will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide regular updates as more information becomes available.
