Water supply & purification in East London: local notes
Tankers deliver to Mdantsane, Duncan Village and Dimbaza when mains fail, and offices keep standby storage. Refill shops in Vincent and Nahoon fill 18.9 litre bottles. Under-counter filters and reverse osmosis are common in Beacon Bay and Bonnie Doon for taste and sediment. Farms around Gonubie and Fort Jackson use borehole filtration, and industrial buyers ask about commercial purification and softening.
Drinking water in East London
East London's water comes from dams on the Buffalo and Nahoon rivers, including Laing, Bridle Drift and Nahoon, along with Wriggleswade on the Kubusi, with Amatola Water as the bulk supplier and Buffalo City Metro running the network. Dry spells have put pressure on these dams, and ageing pipes cause bursts in Mdantsane, Duncan Village and parts of Qonce. Summers are humid and the coast is windy, so salt can reach equipment near the beachfront. The East London Industrial Development Zone, automotive suppliers in Wilsonia and offices in Vincent and Beacon Bay all use dispensers. Many households add tanks and filters.
Who asks for under-counter water filters around East London, most often first:

- Offices and business parks: a filter under the pantry sink feeding a tap and a plumbed-in coffee machine
- Households: a twin cartridge filter with its own tap for drinking and cooking water in the kitchen
