AfriForum tested the water of various towns in Limpopo during April\u00a02018 to determine the quality of these towns\u2019 drinking (blue drop status) and sewage (green drop status) water.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could establish that the drinking water of every town, except Ellisras, complied with the minimum standards and didn\u2019t contain any harmful bacteria. AfriForum\u2019s local structure in Ellisras will continuously test the water quality after high readings of E.\u00a0coli were taken. It contains a lot of negative consequences for residents consuming contaminated water. It is our duty to place pressure on the authorities to ensure that the drinking water is not only clean, but also up to standard,\u201d says Jaco Grobbelaar, AfriForum\u2019s District Coordinator for Limpopo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blue drop results <\/strong><\/p>\n

These results indicate that the drinking water of most of the towns in Limpopo is clean.<\/p>\n

Green drop results<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to AfriForum\u2019s green drop results, the sewage water of seven of the towns does not comply with the stipulated microbiological standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfriForum\u2019s national blue and green drop project focuses on the state of towns\u2019 drinking water and sewage plants. This project doesn\u2019t necessarily focus on the state of the plant itself, but rather on the quality of the water being supplied after the process as end product in the form of drinking water (blue drop) and treated sewage water (green drop),\u201d concludes Grobbelaar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
