🌊 *Cape Town’s coastal water quality remains generally stable*

The latest monitoring at the *Camps Bay, Green Point and Hout Bay marine outfalls* shows that *98,6% of 513 seawater samples* taken between April and June 2026 met water quality guidelines.

Most of the few exceedances were recorded close to the outfall points, with only one outside the designated mixing zone.

🔬 The City is continuing regular and independent testing, while also refurbishing the three marine outfall systems and assessing *longer-term treatment upgrades* to better protect our marine environment.

The monitoring programme has also been expanded to more coastal wastewater facilities.

*Our coastline is one of Cape Town’s greatest assets, and protecting it requires proper monitoring, transparent reporting and long-term investment.* 💙
