Updated Standards for 2024
The Department of Water and Sanitation has introduced new guidelines for water quality standards that affect both residential and commercial properties. Here's what you need to know.
Key Changes
- Stricter limits on heavy metals
- New testing requirements for private boreholes
- Updated guidelines for water storage tanks
- Enhanced monitoring for microbiological contaminants
Impact on Homeowners
If you have a private water supply, such as a borehole, these new regulations may require you to implement additional treatment or testing measures.
Compliance Timeline
Most residential properties have until mid-2025 to ensure compliance with the new standards. However, we recommend taking action now to avoid any issues.
