In a statement, uMngeni-uThukela Water said the outage would last from 09:00 to 17:00 while the Wiggins pumping system is shut down.
“This is to re-instate a full set of rehabilitated equipment on the bulk distribution pumps, and all affected reservoirs will be filled before the shutdown. Outlets will remain open for most reservoirs for the duration of the shutdown,” it said.
Residents have been urged to use water sparingly to avoid depletion of reservoirs as this may lead to the shutdown of outlets.
