Carousel Hotel Hammanskraal Contact Details

Cholera kills through dehydration, and rehydration must start before you reach a clinic. Sudden profuse watery diarrhoea needs oral rehydration solution immediately, sip by sip, while you arrange transport. Hammanskraal has had serious drinking water quality problems, including a cholera outbreak in 2023.

Where a water notice is in force

Check the current municipal position rather than assuming, in either direction.

• Use the supplied or bottled water for drinking, ice, brushing teeth and washing food.
• Where boiling is advised, bring it to a rolling boil and let it cool covered.
• Wash hands with soap after the toilet and before handling food, which breaks the transmission route.
• Keep tanker and stored water covered, and clean containers between fills.

Who to tell

A cluster of severe diarrhoea in one area is a public health matter, not a private inconvenience. Clinics report it, and reporting early is what stops an outbreak spreading. Care at public facilities is free for this.

An infant, an older person or anyone unable to keep fluids down needs to be seen urgently. Ambulance is 10177, or 112 from a mobile.
