Residents and businesses are informed of *water supply restrictions* from the Durban Heights and Maphephethi Water Treatment Works. This is due to essential work being conducted by Umgeni Water on the aqueduct that supplies raw water to the plant.<\/p>\n
The work will involve installing a new DN 700 butterfly valve and associated pipework in a chamber feed to the aqueduct to allow for pumping system tie-ins.<\/p>\n
During the period of work, water supply to the Maphephetheni area will be reduced and higher lying areas *may experience limited supply or no water.*<\/p>\n
The work will begin at 8am on 15 February. Umgeni Water anticipates that this work will be concluded on 17 February at 10am. System recovery will occur thereafter.<\/p>\n
