Contaminants we routinely find all over the country are atrazine, terbuthylazine, carbamazepine and progesterone. It is a problem not something unique to SA, in fact it is a world wide problem. Personally, I installed an RO system. If you have little children in the house, especially little girls, get them off raw tap water now. I've also tested bottled water from numerous different companies as comparison, most of the bottled waters tested were OK, a couple were not, the major well known brands are good. So I would go for bottled water before I drink tap water ANY day.
