MEDIA AND PUBLIC NOTICE

Wednesday, 2 October 2024

uMngeni-uThukela Water has detected a leak in the 53 pipeline which supplies water from the DV Harris Water Works to reservoirs in Umlaas Road.

This has necessitated an immediate shut of the pipeline in order for the damage to be assessed and repaired.

The pipeline supplies approximately 30 mega litres of water per day to parts of the uMgungundlovu District and the eThekwini Metro.

The following areas may have their water supply affected while repairs are in progress:

  • Umbumbulu
  • Eston
  • Mid-illovo
  • Camperdown
  • Parts of the Outer West of eThekwini

We apologise for any disruption that will be caused during the repair work. We also urge the public to continue to use water sparingly.
