New KwaXimba pipeline to ease water woes for 18 communities
Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina says a newly repaired pipeline in KwaXimba, west of Durban, will bring much-needed relief to local communities.
The 7.4-kilometre pipeline will carry clean water to two reservoirs, which serve 18 communities in Ward 1.
The R378 million project includes a potable water treatment unit.
Majodina says she’s confident this will help ease water shortages in the area.
"I want to appeal to members of the community that when this project is fully finished, you must protect this infrastructure."
