Blue Drop Score (2009)

Not assessed

Regulatory Impression: A rather courageous effort was noted during the assessment but unfortunately the score only just missed the “pass” mark. There are sufficient areas for improvement as indicated by the report card. The Department trust that the municipality will prepare in advance for the next assessment period in order for an even better score to materialise. The regular failing of microbiological compliance is most disconcerting and tends to put the community at risk. Disinfection improvement is urgently required. In the interim the Department has to alert residents and visitors to Murraysburg to take precautionary measures when drinking water, until such time when the District Municipality can prove sustainable improvement of water supply.
