The community of uMhlanga and Durban North are still advised to use water sparingly while repairs are been conducted on a major pipeline that collapsed into the uMgeni River on Monday.
“35% of the repair work has been completed and the pipe should be fully operational by Tuesday,” says Bhavna Soni, general manager, Water Network. “Reservoir levels have been raised to accommodate water requirements in the interim, but should demand for water dramatically increase we could experience water shortages, therefore we appeal to the community to please use water sparingly, until the major pipeline is repaired” she added.
