Capetonians can now quench their thirst at the city’s springs.
In a statement, Xanthea Limberg, the mayoral committee member for water and waste, said the Newlands and Bradwell springs reopened on Monday. Water collectors are not allowed to enter the sites without a mask and they should maintain a physical distance of 1.5m at all times. They should also sanitise their hands when entering the sites and “ensure your container does not touch the tap”.
“Security will be monitoring and ensuring that containers do not touch the bottom part of the tap,” Limberg said. “This water is not for commercial use, and may not be sold. City staff will monitor the site and act on municipal transgressions as they arise.”
