Namibia's City of Windhoek Says Brown Tap Water Not a Health Risk

The city says the discolouration is linked to an interruption in water supply from the Namibia Water Corporation after damage to the pipeline that supplies water from the Von Bach Water Treatment Plant to Windhoek. The interruption has caused reservoir levels across Windhoek to drop significantly. This allowed low reservoir levels to cause residue to settle at the bottom of some reservoirs, to mix with the water, giving it a brownish appearance.
