# The City of Tshwane has activated alternative water supplies for the Pretoria CBD and surrounding areas. This comes after water-quality tests detected microbiological contamination in water supplied from the Findlay Reservoir. The contamination was detected after a sewer pipe burst, resulting in elevated microbial levels that exceeded the capacity of the existing chlorination measures. The metro’s spokesperson, Lindela Mashigo, says the Pretoria CBD and surrounding areas have been switched to an alternative supply from Salvokop Reservoir:
