Tuesday’s pipe burst left residents without water for about eight hours, but access to driveways was not impeded and, despite the pipeline in question being situated along a main commuter thoroughfare, traffic was not disrupted.
This follows numerous pipe bursts throughout Richards Bay in recent months, including two major bursts on separate occasions that caused the closure of Ysterhout and Siligna roads.
