💨 Abstract

In Cape Town, an organic compound called Geosmin has been found in the water supply, causing an "earthy" or "sandy" taste and smell. The City of Cape Town has confirmed that tap water remains safe to drink, as Geosmin poses no health risks, and the water complies with South African standards. The City is closely monitoring the situation and has increased its water treatment process to reduce the impact of Geosmin.
