Find your updated schedule here: Durban's lengthy water repairs to start next week
Months-long repair work to two flood-damaged water pipes in Durban will begin next week.
This is according to mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda.
The repairs mean from Monday, taps in parts of Durban will only run at specific times of the day for the next 10 to 12 months.
Kaunda says the damaged pipelines carry raw water from Nagle Dam to Durban Heights Water Treatment Works.
"Both pipelines require extensive work to restore functionality. Sections of the pipeline some hundreds of metres will have to be redesigned and new sections be connected."

He says there'll be rationing during the hours when the water usage is very low, for a maximum of four hours.
"Therefore, people will be able to have water in the morning before they go to work or school. They will also be able to water for cooking when they return in the evening."
Kaunda says there's also work being done on Reservoir 3 at the treatment plant.
"If all goes according to schedule the work on Reservoir 3 will be completed by November 2022, after which 340 million litres of storage space will become available."
