A  planned shutdown on Thursday,  May 12, at Tayside to be able to store water for usage during the shutdown and to make provision for the supply of water to Ruigtefontein (near Wasbank) means there is a change in the water shedding times for Dundee and Sibongile.

Umzinyathi District Municipality said the changes will affect the whole of Dundee and Sibongile, and highest lying areas are affected first.
