Umgeni Water is in a 20-year contract with uThukela… According to Umgeni General Manager Dan Naidoo, this will ensure the building of quality infrastructure that in turn will go a long way towards alleviating the water woes faced in the district due to malfunctioning water pumps and burst pipes.
Even though Umgeni’s function is to supply water in bulk to municipalities, officials have promised to help uThukela when it comes to refurbishing leaking pipes that supply municipal clients.
Linda Vezi from Umgeni has suggested that meters be installed in areas that have none so that residents will know how much water they are using and if their usage is excessive.
Umgeni also urges people to start thinking about the water shortage crisis the whole country is facing and start thinking about the future.
