Reading the water & the weather…
💧 Tap water · supply & quality
Run by Knysna Municipality — separate from the flood risk above. Greater Knysna is on water restrictions, and Sedgefield's tap water has had salinity spikes that made it unsafe to drink (tankers were sent in Oct 2025). Always check the latest notice before drinking after an alert.
No water, or a burst pipe? A sudden cut is often not in the notices yet — report it, then watch the live channels:
