2017 Year in Review: KZN faces 30-hour water shutdown
Water definitely is a precious resource.
Earlier this year water authorities had to implement a 30-hour water shutdown to conduct essential maintenance work at the Midmar Water Works.
Parts of eThekwini, Msunduzi and uMgungundlovu municipalities were affected.
The shutdown came into affect at around 8.30am on Tuesday, 21 February and was scheduled to continue until the following afternoon.
Umgeni Water officials assured residents, businesses and affected communities that it had made provisions to ensure there was enough water in the reservoirs to make it through the 30-hour shutdown.
The story showed us just how important water is in our everyday lives.
