'Water shedding' for Umgungundlovu municipalities
Water rationing will soon be spreading to the six other municipalities that fall under the uMgungundlovu District Municipality.
This comes after the district municipality has issued a warning about the so-called "water shedding" in the coming weeks as water levels continue to drop in the Midmar Dam.
Bheki Mbambo from the district municipality has urged consumers to continue to use water sparingly so as to avoid lengthy water cuts.
"As Umgungundlovu, most of our water comes from our bulk supplier, which is Umngeni Water.
"Currently, the situation is bad. The dams are going a little bit lower. So, we will jointly be in a process of implementing restrictions in the near future," he said.
The six municipalities that will be affected are uMngeni, uMshwathi, Richmond, Mkhambathini, Mpofana, and Impendle.
