Drinking water in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is one of South Africa's windiest metros, and its water story has been shaped by drought. Nelson Mandela Bay draws mainly from the Kouga system, including Churchill and Impofu dams, with Loerie and Groendal as smaller sources and water piped in from the Orange River scheme. Reserves fell close to emergency levels in recent years, and restrictions, leak repairs and pressure management became routine. Water can taste earthy or chlorinated, and older mains cause discoloured taps. The motor industry in Kariega and Markman, the Coega zone, universities in Summerstrand and busy suburbs such as Walmer all keep drinking water on site, and many homes use tanks and filters.
