The Lower Thukela Waterworks experienced a technical fault with its high levels lift pumps earlier today.
These pumps supply water from the Waterworks to the command reservoir. This has resulted in the command reservoir level to dropping below the minimum safe operating level and the outlet had to be shut down in order to build up storage. The shut in the isolation valve has resulted in no supply of bulk water to parts of KwaDukuza.
The pumps have been restarted and the supply will be reinstated once the storage level in the command reservoir improves to safe levels.
The following areas have been affected by the water supply interruptions:-
- Zinkwazi
- San Sounci
- Darnall
- Lindelani
- Nonoti
- Blythedale
- Saunders Reservoir
- Glenhills
- Warrenton
- Stanger Manor
- High Ridge
- Shakaville
- Townview
- Mbozamo
- Honolulu Reservoir and Groutville
- Ntshawini
- Melville
Your patience and understanding will be highly appreciated.
WE ALSO URGE THE PUBLIC TO CONTINUE TO USE WATER SPARINGLY.
