The City of Tshwane says the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant is currently out of operation due to the poor water quality.

The city has attributed this to the recent heavy rains which have resulted in water that is difficult to treat.

Tshwane Spokesperson Lindela Mashigo says their technical team is closely monitoring the situation and working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Mashigo added that the plant will resume operations once the water quality improves to a level that allows for safe and effective treatment.

“The following areas in Region 7 are affected Bronkhorstspruit Town, Ekandustria, Ekangala, Rethabiseng, Riamarpark, Thembisile Hani Local Municipality as well as Zithobeni. Roaming water tankers will be arranged for all the affected areas. The City of Tshwane apologises for the inconvenience that may be encountered as a result of this temporary shutdown.”
