eThekwini warns of possible water supply interruptions
eThekwini has warned of possible water supply interruptions during a
planned shutdown of the Hazelmere Water Treatment Plant in Verulam.
The complex will undergo three days of maintenance, from 6 o'clock on Monday morning.
"This is to allow for the isolation of clarifier number 1 for its cleaning. While water will continue to be pumped normally and reservoir water levels will continually be monitored during this time, there may be some reduction in supply and pressure," says Umngeni-uThukela Water Siyabonga Maphumulo.
" The following areas in the Illembe District and eThekwini Metro will be affected during the shutdown, Avondale, Ndwedwe, Waterloo, Verulam and La Mercy.

Maphumulo says they'll be shutting down the La Mercy reservoir for eight hours as well.
"This is to allow for the installation of a coated pipe spool in the meter chamber. We do apologise for the inconvenience that we will cause to the public and our stakeholders."
