uThukela District Municipality released the following message on their Facebook page about the current water situation in Ladysmith and surrounding areas:
The area received good rainfall on Tuesday night (November 12) and during the week, and water levels in the Alfred Duma area are looking good.
The municipality is currently abstracting water from the Klip River abstract point to fill up the plants and reservoirs. The abstract point has been completely dried up due to the persistent drought.
The district municipality says this will have a huge relief on restricted water supply should the rainfall continue.
