Cable theft at the Rooiwal Waste Water Treatment Plant has led to water being contaminated in Temba. The City of Tshwane’s Water and Sanitation Department said it has done an emergency shut-down of the Temba Water Treatment Plant due to the water contamination from a raw polluted water source. The contamination is so severe that the plant will remain temporarily shut-down until further notice.
The affected areas are Stinkwater, Dilopye, Eersterust, Temba, Babelegi Industries, Marokolong, Ramotse, Majaneng, Mandela Village, Sekampaneng and Hammanskraal.
Tshwane City said residents will be supplied with water during this period by roaming water tankers.
