The City of Cape Town notes stabilised production levels at the country’s main chlorine gas supplier for water purification purposes. The City is receiving chlorine deliveries as scheduled, while continuing with steps to build reserves. Read more below:

Cape Town’s tap water remains safe to drink and continues to meet national SANS241 drinking water quality standards at all times.

While national chlorine supply constraints have improved, the City deems it prudent to continue building reserves, and is already procuring chlorine gas substitutes locally while actively exploring all other alternatives.

Water is a precious resource and residents are reminded to be water-wise at all times, regardless of the season. Avoid using water wastefully, and fix leaks.
