Monday, 12 June 2023
Kindly note the road that leads to the iMvutshane Dam in Maphumulo will be closed to the public and motorists in two phases tomorrow (13 June 2023) in order for a heavy-duty vehicle to take a large generator to the dam for installation as back-up power supply.
The first road closure will be between 10h00 and 12h00 and the second in the afternoon at a time that will be determined by when the generator is left at the installation site. During both closures, no pedestrians and motorists will be allowed to use the road. The road will be reopened immediately after the first two-hour closure and after the afternoon one-hour closure. uMngeni-uThukela Water appeals to members of the public and motorists to please co-operate.
The installation of the generator at the iMvutshane Dam is imperative to ensure continuous raw water supply from the dam for treatment at the Maphumulo Water Treatment Plant, even during periods of load shedding or unplanned power supply failures.
