MEDIA STATEMENT

DWS CAUTIONS WATER USERS ALONG THE VAAL AND HARTS RIVERS IN NORTH WEST AND NORTHERN CAPE OF PRESENCE OF CHOLERA BACTERIA IN THE WATER
For immediate release
09 October 2024
The Department of Water and Sanitation advise communities and water users along the Harts and Vaal rivers from Christiana downstream to be careful in the use of the raw (untreated) water from the rivers. During the routine raw water sampling in September, water from 5 sites, namely Wentzel dam, Schweizer Reneke, Christiana, Barkley West Caravan park, and Douglas weir indicated the presence of cholera.
Communities are advised not to drink or come into contact with the raw water from the rivers. Follow-up sampling on the river is in process and will indicate extend and area of caution.
The communities under the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mopati, Francis Baard and Pixley ka Seme District Municipalities and the water services authorities in the area have been requested to take extra care in the water treatment process, disinfection and chlorination of the water. The chlorination of water is effective in safeguarding water from the risk of cholera. The Naledi, Greater Taung, Leekwa Teemane, Magareng, Dikgatlong Sol Plaatje, Siyacuma, and Phokwane Municipalities treat water from the rivers to ensure it is safe for consumption. Water is tested to ensure safe drinking water. Water not meeting the required standard would not be supplied for drinking and domestic use.
The Vaal River is a "workhorse river" serving the Gauteng, Free State, Northwest and Northern Cape provinces supplying water to various users for domestic, industrial, mine and agricultural use that contribute to nutrients in the river.
All possible pollution sources from Bloemhof dam to Douglas are considered, specifically from the discharge of wastewater treatment works. The required compliance monitoring and enforcement activities will continue to ensure compliance.
DWS would like to remind members of the public that rivers,
