    Workers shun High Street water

    Workers in the CBD have questioned whether the water at the premises of several High Street businesses is fit to drink.

    An Ellerines employee who asked to remain anonymous told Grocott's Mail last Friday that water from their taps was murky and smelled like sewage.

    Workers in the CBD have questioned whether the water at the premises of several High Street businesses is fit to drink.

    An Ellerines employee who asked to remain anonymous told Grocott's Mail last Friday that water from their taps was murky and smelled like sewage.

    She said no one at the shop dared drink the water: either you came with your own water from home, or you bought bottled water, she said.

    Holding up the two-litre bottle of water she had brought from home, the employee told Grocott's Mail she was afraid to risk using the water at all – even after boiling it to make coffee.

    Employees at clothing outlet Legit, also in High Street, said they drank the water boiled in coffee or tea, but bought bottled water for drinking water.

    Grocott's Mail observed cloudiness in the water there.

    An employee at Bridge Loans told Grocott's Mail that they often had to turn down customers' requests for water.

    "We are aware of its poor quality and unfortunately we have no choice," the employee said.

    The city's director of technical and infrastructure services Thembinkosi Myalato could not be reached for comment by the time of going to press
