According to uThukela, high levels of silt from the Tugela River is affecting water quality and quantity in terms of the treatment process.
uThukela say they are addressing the problem, but that some areas such as Ezakheni and parts of Acaciavale will be negatively affected in the mean time.
They apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Residents with dry taps are encouraged to take containers to the mosque in Poona Road to fill up with water.
