A scheduled water interruption is set to take place tomorrow (Tuesday) in Stanger from 7am to 10pm.
This is due to the replacement of pumping mains behind Stanger Hospital, between Warrenton and Saunders Street reservoirs.
The Ilembe District Municipality media liaison Khululiwe Makhaye confirmed that the affected areas include Indian Village, Sunny Park, High Ridge, Doesburg, Warrenton, Ocean View, Mbozambo, Lindelani and New Guilderland.
The repair is to old infrastructure that is no longer able to withstand the existing pressures.
For the interim, 30 metres of corroded steel pipe across the stream will be replaced, however long term plans will see construction of new pipes and pump stations, rerouting water from Balancing Reservoir through to High Ridge and eventually to Warrenton Reservoirs.
Construction of a new pipeline from Prince’s Grant to Lindelani and New Guilderland is also planned.
The water is scheduled to be back on by 10pm, excluding Lindelani and Doesburg areas, which will be supplied via water tankers.
