Eight Western Cape municipalities, including Kannaland have been flagged for critical water supply system conditions.

The Department of Water and Sanitation urgently stepped in to help find a solution to the worsening quality of water in Kannaland.

The Blue Drop Report, which assesses the state of drinking water systems in South Africa, found that three water supply systems had poor microbiological compliance and five systems had bad microbiological water quality status.

The municipalities flagged in the report are Beaufort West Municipality (Beaufort West, Murraysburg and Nelspoort), Hessequa Municipality (Jongensfontein), Kannaland Municipality (Ladismith, Van Wyksdorp and Zoar) and Prince Albert Municipality (Klaarstroom and Prince Albert).
