City of Cape Town Water and Sanitation

Water pressure in Cape Town is not something people stop thinking about. The city's relationship with its water supply has fundamentally shaped how residents and businesses approach their taps, geysers, and gardens. Water and Sanitation manages the pipes, pressure, billing, and service delivery for millions of daily transactions across the metro. The department navigates ongoing questions about supply reliability, leak management, meter reading accuracy, and the infrastructure pressures that come with a city of Cape Town's size and growth patterns. When water doesn't flow, when bills seem inconsistent, or when you need to understand your consumption and how charges are calculated, this is the office that holds the answers. It's a service taken for granted until it isn't available.
