Residents go five days without water in eMdloti
Residents are resorting to using bottled water to get by.
Mandy Courier, a Bellamont Road resident said the water outage is impacting her daily life.
“I understand that its a process of elimination when fixing a water fault, but its very frustrating because there are so many departments and each relies on the other which slows down the process,” she said.

Courier first noticed a problem when she saw water streaming down Bellamont Road on 29 December, although the latest issue has been ongoing since Thursday, 30 January.
“Initially we were told there was a valve stolen off a pipe leading into the reservoir which created an airlock on the pipe. Then we were told an actuator valve fault was effecting water pressure,” she said.
