It appears that the staff reporter had deadlines and article counts to achieve and did not bother with sufficient research ... why else is there four paragraphs on something that is speculation?.

document.write("I am involved in the water purification (domestic & industrial) industry.  I can verify that SA's water is good but there is a lot of room for improvement.  I can assure you that it is not ALL a con.  Some, yes.  But there are the reasonable brands and honest ones out there (including myself).  There are also tests available to prove that water systems are better over tap water.  But that applies to drinking and consumption only.  This is not required for sewage and general cleaning.  In conclusion, bottled water IS frightfully expensive & a purification system is cheaper.. Zee");
