Is tap water safe to drink? How is the quality of water?
Water in Cape Town is safe to drink. There are always certain rumors of water scares but the quality of water in Cape Town is good. However many people prefer to drink bottled spring water or sparkling water, which is widely available too. You will pay around R6 for a 1.5 litre bottle of water. If you have little children or babies I would recommend you use either bottle water or you boil tap water to sterilize it and when cooled store it in the fridge.
