Umgeni Water has confirmed that a rock-fall has caused severe damage to its Durban Heights Water Treatment plant, causing supply disruptions.“It affected the area badly. I would say more than worse. The way it is there is no road as you can see the pipes that delivers water to reservoir is all broken. As it is in the clinic, we are relying on the water from tanks that were installed. I don’t know if it gets finished what are we going to do. But in the meantime we are sustained by that water.
Several communities have been left without water. Mchunu told the media in Durban on Friday that technicians are repairing damaged water infrastructure. “There are ideas, one idea is to pull water from Inanda Dam that is abstract water and then feed it into the system that goes to Durban heights which will quicken the process. Once they decided that they’ll have to operate on that immediately and then fill up and that will enable the team to start repairing the two main pipes immediately. Maybe temporarily but of course there will be time for rebuilding.
At which grounds since clinical help are what needed the most. I think MM must do something and send the tanks on sites. President just confirmed 1,5m so what. The aim of that clinic is to help public why has to be heaviy task now.
