Take note of water outages in parts of Westville and Berea West

The City has advised that water tankers will be dispatched to the affected areas.

ETHEKWINI Municipality has issued a statement informing residents and businesses of a water-supply outage currently being experienced in parts of Westville and Berea West.

The City said this interruption of water supply is caused by a damaged 375mm-diameter isolating valve at the Palmiet River crossing, which supplies water to the Salisbury Reservoir.

“Repairs are currently underway. However, the reservoir is empty, which is resulting in the water outages in Westville Central towards Westville East, including Berea West.

“Water tankers will be dispatched to service affected areas while technical teams are attending to repairs,” read the statement.

The municipality apologises for the inconvenience caused. For more information regarding water supply, the public can call the toll-free number on 080 311 1111 or WhatsApp 073 1483 477. Alternatively, email Eservices@durban.gov.za.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
