Bezuidenhout Valley tap water safe to drink again after Joburg Water tests
The utility advised residents to clear their pipes before using water.
Johannesburg Water has announced that it has lifted a precautionary water quality alert in the Bezuidenhout Valley area. Residents can now safely use tap water for drinking, cooking, and other household activities. Joburg Water stated that customers in affected properties can resume normal water use. The utility's technical team is still working on restoring water supply to the properties.
Joburg Water assured that the samples collected on October 23 and 25 passed both microbiological and chemical tests. Staff took the follow-up samples on October 25 as an extra precaution to confirm the water quality. The utility confirmed that all test results were compliant. Residents are advised to flush their internal property pipeline systems by opening taps to remove any residual water that may have been in the lines during this period.
The utility thanked residents for their cooperation during the sampling and testing process, expressing apologies for the inconvenience caused.
