It no longer matters if the glass is half full or half empty: what matters is that the water is safe to drink.
You may have heard rumblings of it before, but it has now been confirmed – Cape Town’s drinking water is among the best in the world.
Several tests by water quality auditors who are serious about, well, water quality, were undertaken yesterday and the findings were positive for Cape Town’s drinking water supply.
Although it was declared by City of Cape Town official Ernest Sonnenberg that further work is being done to refine the city’s water network and treatment processes, we can now have peace of mind that there is a very little chance of anything nasty lurking in that glass of H20 you’ve just poured.
Personally I’ll still opt for a trip to the natural spring in Newlands.

So true….have heard it from my friend in Durbanville and tasted tthe mountain water so fresh…..
I knew that a long time ago though. Travel anywhere in the world and you won’t find better water than right here in the Mother City! Back in the day of the diamond mines at Kolmanskop in Namibia, water was transported by boat weekly from Cape Town to the mining town to supply the citizens with water. That’s pretty impressive!
this is stupid! is everyone suppose to come to cape town now for water? in this so called water scares country?

Oh for Petes sake, lighten up! People are entitled to make an observation you know. Anyway, everything in the Cape is the best by far. So put that in your pipe & smoke it. Run by the best party so that’s why.
It does taste good. I seldom drink bottled water but am drinking water from the tap out of a bottle all day.
SA has the best water but I prefer JOZI over capetown….U0001f60b
Love the pic ! Steenbras Dam…..childhood memories…
Alghamdulillah.. Iv travelled throughout Western Cape surveying public schools & hospitals, and Cpt certainly does have the best tasting water around. This is not a brag but a fact! So bottoms up y’al 😉
Durbanville tap-water… delicious.
Of course ! ……Duh ………or should that be DA…. Ha Ha Sorry I just couldn’t resist that one. The CT water has really been tasting great for years.
Glad to hear this
I still camp at steenbrasdam

One of many good reasons to live here
I love Cape Atown
I just did that last week in my First Year class on Adaptive Management and mentioned our good quality drinking water and we analysed reasons why it was the case.
Long may it last.

It’s been the case for a century, but unfortunately not so any more for the rest of SA.
