Week-long water shutdown starts tomorrow
The water outage is predicted to last a week, and thereafter, the system needs to stabilise as soon as pumping resumes.
The water outage in eMalahleni is set to start tomorrow.
The outage is expected to last approximately one week. The expected and planned shutdown is scheduled from tomorrow to July 27.
The municipality, in a press release, said the water shutdown is necessary to implement critical water maintenance and repairs.
This planned outage will require shutting down the entire water pumping and purification system to implement maintenance work, and during maintenance, the water infrastructure will be isolated.
The system will need a few days to stabilise after pumping has resumed.
Water tankers will be available at strategic areas such as hospitals and clinics when needed.
