The city announces the areas that will be affected by the water distruptions that resulted from the damage to a major water supply pipe.
THE municipality had to conduct an emergency shutdown to the main water pipe that provides water to the northern region today. Areas that will be affected include uMgeni, Newlands, Parlock, Inanda, Ntuzuma, KwaMashu, Mzinyathi, Amaoti, Phoenix, uMhlanga, Durban North, Virginia, La Lucia, Sea Cow Lake, Verulam, Mt View, Mt Edgecombe and Trenance Park.
