uThukela District Municipality will stop pumping water from the golf course area to Observation Hill from tonight (October 17) at 8pm and restart the pumps at 5am tomorrow morning.
This will be an everyday occurrence until further notice from the municipality.
uThukela will try and keep to this time schedule, provided they have no electricity interruptions at Spioenkop or major burst pipes.
They say the situation remains critical and communities are therefore requested and advised to use water sparingly during this time.
