Muthambi summoned the mayor, municipal manager, chief financial officer and heads of water, treasury and technical services in the district. When large tankers arrived to extinguish the blaze at Plastic Recycling in Margate during the early hours of February 1, the Pienaars were hopeful that at least 50% of their business would be saved."When the working tanker was empty they went to refill it but there was no water in Margate to do so.
