It has been more than 24 hours and many areas in and around Chatsworth still do not have water. This has not only inconvenienced the community severely but has also angered the public, who are demanding better service delivery.

The eThekwini Municipality posted a status on its Facebook page yesterday afternoon confirming the water supply interruption in southern parts of eThekwini.

The post stated that the heavy rainfall experienced over the weekend has caused damage to the city’s bulk pipelines.

Due to this, parts of Northdene, Chatsworth, Shallcross, Klaarwater, St Wendolins, Savannah Park, KwaNdengezi,  Dassenhoek, Milky Way, Tshelimnya,  Hlanganisa Road, Intake Road and Luganda have been affected.

The Municipality also said that they dispatched 21 tankers in the Chatsworth and Welbedacht areas however, many residents confirmed that no tankers arrived in their areas and said that they can no longer remain patient.

It is believed that due to the severity of the problem, technicians are working around the clock to resolve the matter.
