What they don’t know is that we make turns to get water in eMalahleni
Del Judor 4 is going on 19 days without water.
While parts of eMalahleni areas are making turns to have water, approximately 80 households still does not have a drop.
Approximately 80 houses in Santie Street, Ina Street and Cambridge Estate in Del Judor 4 have not had water for the past 19 days.
“I am so angry I am lost for words,” said Clr Lizelle Steyn.
She said water trucks do make a turn, but the quality of the water is debatable.
From earlier today water supply was rationed per reservoir to boost the level of Point C Reservoir that was shut down for urgent maintenance.
This resulted in a deficit of 60Ml per day.
“The water deficit and the works that was carried out at the reservoir has resulted in the system drying out hence the boosting of the system is required in order to urgently restore the water supply for areas supplied by Point C,” said Mr Lebo Mofokeng, municipal spokesperson.
Model Park, Die Heuwel, Highveld Park, Blancheville, Riverview, Seekoewater, Jackaroo Park and Clearwater Estate that get their water from Point D reservoir had no water today.
It is anticipated that water will be restored at 22:00 this evening.
