Water Quality Poor

FIRST of all, I would like to thank The Namibian for allowing us space in your well read newspaper.

I would like to bring to light my concern and disgust at the quality of water provided by the Municipality of Windhoek. I believe that I am not alone in experiencing dryness and irritation of the skin after each shower.I for one do not drink the tap water, however it troubles me deeply that there are people in the community that are regularly drinking this water on a daily basis.I find it very odd that the Government of Namibia forces large enterprises such as Ramatex to do Environmental Impact Studies and yet they continue to supply such a hazardous substance to each residence.Furthermore I am equally shocked that there is no public outcry for the Government to look into this matter and enforce strict regulations and health codes.Concerned Resident WindhoekI believe that I am not alone in experiencing dryness and irritation of the skin after each shower.I for one do not drink the tap water, however it troubles me deeply that there are people in the community that are regularly drinking this water on a daily basis.I find it very odd that the Government of Namibia forces large enterprises such as Ramatex to do Environmental Impact Studies and yet they continue to supply such a hazardous substance to each residence.Furthermore I am equally shocked that there is no public outcry for the Government to look into this matter and enforce strict regulations and health codes.Concerned Resident Windhoek
