Residents are informed of the interruption of water supply in most areas of the north, central south, and inner west regions. The interruption is due to a valve failure in the vicinity of the Durban Heights Treatment Works of uMgeni Water.

Due to the valve failure, the uMgeni Water Main Reservoir has been isolated to undertake repairs. These repairs are currently underway. However, this will affect supply of water in several areas in eThekwini. The duration of the repairs is 12 hours and is expected to be completed at 12am, on 30 March 2022.  

There will be no incoming flow into eThekwini Municipality’s storage reservoirs and as a result, there will be water outages from midnight, 30 March until midnight, 31 March.
