Some residents in Thembalihle have also been left without water after cables were stolen from the pump station.

“We await service provider to assess the damages and do quotations for the required material. In the meantime, water tankers will be dispatched to the area to supply water,” commented uThukela District Municipality communications manager Jabulani Mkhonza.

In Loskop, residents were affected by water cuts due to a broken raw water pump. Mr Mkhonza says that a service provider was on site yesterday (October 16) and the affected communities would be receiving a steady flow of water from this morning.
