“The replacement of the old pipeline is a necessary and proactive measure aimed at resolving recurring water disruptions, improving water pressure, and ensuring long-term reliability and sustainability of water supply to the affected communities,” he said.

Due to the nature of the work, Ngcobo said that water supply in parts of Madadeni and Blaaubosch had been temporarily interrupted.

The municipality further wished to assure residents that every effort was being made to expedite the completion of the work and to restore water supply within the shortest possible timeframe.

The municipality apologised for the inconvenience caused and said they appreciated the patience and co-operation of affected residents.
