Water advisory for Atlantic Seaboard still in place

29 April 2021

Residents of the Atlantic Seaboard and CBD areas are reminded that a precautionary advisory has been issued recommending that residents do not consume tap water until further notice. Read more below:

This was as a result of complaints of an earthy/metallic taste in the water.

The City has since been strategically flushing the system, as well as undertaking intensive water sampling to identify any possible non-compliance.

Testing is ongoing.

Mobile standpipes have been installed along Beach Road this evening for residents to collect water for domestic consumption, if necessary.

They are located as follows:
• Corner of Arthur’s Road
• Corner of Milton Road
• Corner of Marais Road
• Corner of Norfolk Road

Please note that it is not recommended to boil the tap water and drink it. Please rather collect water from standpipes provided to be safe.

Further updates will be provided in due course.
