Areas that receive water from the Ezakheni Water Treatment Plant (Embizeni) should expect water shortages due to a power failure.
The affected areas include Ezakheni, Acaciavale and Rose Park.
According to a statement issued by uThukela District Municipality:
“This notice serves to inform the community of Alfred Duma Local Municipality that we are currently experiencing a power outage at the Ezakheni Water Treatment Works (WTW). This is attributed to a fuse that has burnt out, rendering the plant non-operational.
