Work continues to restore water supply in the areas still experiencing water disruptions, says Ugu.
Latest water update, as posted on the Ugu Municipality Talk Facebook page:
“AREA NORTH:
This area has not experienced much issues of vandalism and supply systems remain stable and most areas are receiving normal supply. The Vulamehlo system is currently experiencing challenges which has resulted in Breamer area and surround experiencing water challenges. Technicians are working to ensure normal water supply resumes as soon as possible.

Several areas are back online and in receipt of normal water supply. Some other areas are receiving low pressure while other are still experiencing disruptions. Teams are on the ground working to ensure restoration of normal pressure for some areas and supply in those that are still dry.

Static tanks will be replenished this morning for the areas that remain affected. Please also be informed that two breaks were found yesterday in Location 7 and have since been resolved and technicians are now working on rebuilding the Protea Park system.
AREA SOUTH WEST:
We are experiencing challenges with the plants in the Harding area as they were shut down. This has resulted in Harding town not having water. The Weza plant was operating at half capacity thus disrupting supply in the areas of KwaJali, kwaMachi and KwaNyuswa. Capacity has been increased, however, it will take a couple of days for the systems to fully recover.
Areas that are severely affected will be provided with relief supply via water tankers.”
