eThekwini Municipality urges residents to use water sparingly as supplies may run out in the next 2 days.
uMhlanga and Durban North residents may have to rely on water stored in local reservoirs after metal thieves caused a suspension bridge that carries water across the uMgeni northwards to collapse.
eThekwini municipality’s head of water and sanitation, Neil Macleod, said the thieves had cut nine cables causing the bridge which is in Reservoir Hills, to collapse late afternoon on 9th June.
