uThukela District Municipality would like to inform the community of Alfred Duma Local Municipality that their water treatment works (WTW) plants – which include Ezakheni, Tugela Estates and Oliphantskop – have been negatively affected by load-shedding.
There is also a burst pipe in Ezakheni that is being attended to by the municipality’s technical team.
Consumers should note that if uThukela experiences a two-hour power outage at the WTW plants, they lose more than four ‘process and production’ hours in total.
The situation is compounded by recurrent power failure once the power supply is restored.
