Media and public statement – Lower Thukela Bulk Water Supply Update

Saturday, 18 January 2025
uMngeni uThukela Water has temporarily resolved the electrical and instrumentation control system problems for the Lower Thukela high lift pump station. Permanent repairs will follow next week.
The break down had affected the supply of water to the Ilembe District.
The storage of the Lower Thukela command reservoir has since recovered and the bulk water supply to Ilembe has been restored.
We thank the community of KwaDukuza and surrounding areas for its patience and understanding.
We also urge the public to continue to use water sparingly.
