Umngeni-Uthukela Water completes repairs ahead of schedule
uMngeni-uThukela Water says it's completed the repair work at the Durban Heights Water Treatment Plant ahead of schedule.
It had planned an 18-hour shutdown to remove a steel metal plate from a bulk pipeline.
The utility's Siyabonga Maphumulo says the repairs are part of efforts to fix bulk water infrastructure that was damaged during the floods in April last year.
