Over the last four days, we have seen three major electricity outages that have affected our ability to transfer water into the city, the mayor said
Residents in Nelson Mandela Bay may experience water outages of up to a week at a time as the city blocked supply to some reservoirs to redirect water to areas that have not had water for days.
“Over the last four days we have seen three major electricity outages that have affected our ability to transfer water into the city. The latest one being a substation that has exploded in the Coega IDZ last night. “We have to say that we are really disappointed that consumer behaviour is nonresponsive to this crisis. While there are so many people doing their utmost in conserving our precious water resources, there are those who remain irresponsible by refusing to change their water consumption lifestyle.”
Filling of swimming pools with municipal supply and using water for construction purposes was also prohibited.On Saturday, a fire in the Coega IDZ damaged an electricity substation.
