Buffalo City Metro Water Technicians are currently busy implementing a bypass around the Umzonyana holding dam, to provide supply to the treatment works. There are currently problems with the inverted siphon (water cannot be sucked from the holding dam to the treatment plant). The technicians are trying to prime the siphon and installing a direct feed from the canal around the holding dam and straight to the treatment works.
We have dispatched water tankers to hospitals and old age homes as this is our first level of intervention. Water tankers will be dispatched to communities as well. Reservoir levels are critically low throughout East London and will affect all the supply zones. The works of installing the pipes is expected to be finished by midnight. Fully recovery of the system pressure will take 3 to 6 days.
People that still have water supply should use water sparingly. We apologise for the inconvenience and assure you we are doing all in our control to restore the water supply to normal as .
We apologize for all the inconvenience.
