FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Planned Water Shutdown for Tongaat And Surrounding Areas in The North of Durban
EThekwini Municipality would like to inform residents of the Tongaat North of Durban and the surrounding areas about the planned water shut down that will affect water supply in some of the areas in the region.
The Municipality’s Water and Sanitation will undertake a planned shutdown at Tongaat water works. This shutdown will allow for refurbishment and upgrade of electrical and mechanical components on the Burbreeze and Mamba Ridge pumps located at Tongaat waterworks.
To safely execute both electrical and mechanical work for these pumps, the entire pump station will therefore be locked out for the duration of the upgrade.
The process will commence on 19 May 2021 from 8:00am to 4:00pm.
For this reason, the following areas will experience no water supply during the shutdown period, amid the upgrade:
• Hambanathi
• Tongaat CBD
• Emona Township
• Metcalfe
• Ghandi’s Hill
• Belvedere
• Flamingo Heights
• Belgate
• Gwala farm
• Chelsmoford
• Buffeldale
• Watsonia
• Mitinager
• Amanzimnyama
• Wewe
• Fairbreeze
• Jan Roz
• Sandbreeze
• Magwaveni
• Pringle Village
• Burbreeze
• Ghandinager
• Trurolands
• Brake Village
• Vanrova
EThekwini Municipality apologises for any inconvenience caused during this period, and requests residents to use water sparingly.
For more information and enquiries regarding water supply residents are urged to contact Call Centre number: 080 131 3013 or EWS WhatsApp number :073 1483 477
