“This pump station provides water to the reservoirs that supply the communities within the Msunduzi Local Municipality." 

Mzila says they are working with uMngeni-uThukela Water and the Department of Water and Sanitation to fix the issue.

"We can’t give a specific time frame, but the Department is working closely with the two stakeholders to ensure that communities have running water."
