MCLM communications officer Adrian Amod confirmed that pumping has started again at the Eikenhof Pump Station, and reservoir levels will slowly return to normal over the next few days.
If water is used sparingly, most areas should have a full water supply soon. However, some higher-lying areas may take a bit longer to recover.
“We understand the high demand for water tankers and apologise for any delays. Hospitals and clinics have been given priority, and tankers will continue to be sent to areas based on ward councillor requests until supply is fully restored,” he added.
Amod concluded they will keep residents updated if more information comes to light.
