Several parts of Qwaqwa in the Free State have been experiencing a lack of water supply as well as a lack of clean water supply.

This comes as the Fika Patso Dam is experiencing high turbidity due to continuous rainfall.

Areas affected include Tseseng and Mandela Park.

The spokesperson for Maluti-A-Phofung Water, Tebogo Kwakwa, explains that there's a method that could be used by the residents to make the water drinkable.

She advises residents must wait for the water to settle down then filter it with a white cloth.

Once it is filtered, then residents should boil the water and use it when it cools down.

She apologized for any inconvenience caused.
