Some residents of Mangaung took to social media to complain about the colour of drinking water in the area.
Mangaung Municipality said technical teams have collected water samples in Dewetsdorp, Wepener, Uitsig, General de Wet, Hospital Park and Fleurdal.
Qondile Khedama, the Municipality’s Spokesperson, said in a statement on Sunday, “our teams are searching for possible pipe bursts or leaks on the trunk main that causes potential discolouring in specific areas of the City.”
Residents are urged not to drink the water, in all affected areas.
It is not clear when the matter will be resolved.
