Johannesburg Water testing Fleurhof water as precautionary measure
Johannesburg Water has taken samples of water from Fleurhof for testing for possible contamination at its laboratory.
This comes after the Entity received complaints from residents on Thursday, 1 August, that the water coming out of their taps was discoloured. Residents were subsequently requested to stop consuming the water until further notice.
A Johannesburg Water technical team then proceeded to isolate (close) the water supply to the area. Furthermore, and as a precautionary measure, Johannesburg Water will conduct tests on water samples collected from the neighbourhood.
In the meantime, the Entity is providing alternative water supply, through roaming tankers, to the affected areas. The water pipelines were also flushed overnight.
Further information will be provided once the tests are completed.
